The Tao of Pooh

Book • 1982

Ernest H. Shepard

In 'The Tao of Pooh,' Benjamin Hoff uses the beloved characters from A.A.

Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh stories to explain the principles of Taoism.

Hoff argues that Pooh Bear embodies the Taoist ideals of simplicity, natural living, and harmony with the world.

The book introduces key Taoist concepts such as P’u (the Uncarved Block) and Wu Wei (acting without effort), using Pooh and his friends to illustrate these principles in an accessible and engaging way.

Hoff's work aims to show how Taoist teachings can lead to a life of wisdom, happiness, and self-improvement.
