Publisher's Summary
Audie Award Winner, Personal Development, 2013
Author Benjamin Hoff shows that the philosophy of Winnie-the-Pooh is amazingly consistent with the principles of Taoism and demonstrates how you can use these principles in your daily life.
Is there such thing as a Western Taoist? Benjamin Hoff says there is, and this Taoist's favorite food is honey. Through brilliant and witty dialogue with the beloved Pooh-bear and his companions, the author of this smash bestseller explains with ease and aplomb that rather than being a distant and mysterious concept, Taoism is as near and practical to us as our morning breakfast bowl. Romp through the enchanting world of Winnie-the-Pooh while soaking up invaluable lessons on simplicity and natural living.
While Eeyore frets and Piglet hesitates and Rabbit calculates and Owl pontificates, Pooh just is. And that's the clue to the secret wisdom of the Taoists.
The Tao of Pooh is an international bestseller and the first Taoist-authored book in history to appear on bestseller lists, it remained on The New York Times’ bestseller list for 49 weeks.

Highly Recommended
I was gifted this book as a paperback many eons ago. It changes you profoundly. I gifted it on, as this book called to do.
Now having this book in audio the gifting of it is in my review. If this book doesn't change something in you then you are already there and it will be meaningless. If you are already there you would no longer be, so would not be reading these words.
Beautifully read by Simon Vance.

Very enlightening book
It opened my mind and reminded of the things that are through the mind of a child, which is rare for we forget sometimes the simple things in life are sometimes the most important. It's best to look back now and then to remember. Thank you

So effective at making Taoism accessible
This book was brilliant as a background studio listen for me. Listening to it was grounding and it made the concept of Taoism accessible in a joyful way with Pooh bear woven through the entire book
