The Tao of Pooh
Book • 2012
In 'The Tao of Pooh', Benjamin Hoff uses A.A.
Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh characters to illustrate the principles of Taoism.
The book contrasts Pooh's simple, intuitive way of being with the intellectual approach of characters like Owl and Rabbit.
Hoff explains complex Taoist concepts, such as the Uncarved Block (simplicity) and the Cottleston Pie Principle (inner nature), through the actions and thoughts of Pooh and his friends.
The book emphasizes the importance of living in harmony with nature and embracing simplicity.
It gently critiques Western society's overreliance on knowledge and rationality.
'The Tao of Pooh' makes Taoist philosophy accessible and relatable, offering a lighthearted guide to finding wisdom in everyday life.
