The how of Pooh? The Tao of who? The Tao of Pooh!?! In which it is
revealed that one of the world''s great Taoist masters isn''t Chinese--or a
venerable philosopher--but is in fact none other than that effortlessly
calm, still, reflective bear. A. A. Milne''s Winnie-the-Pooh! While
Eeyore frets, and Piglet hesitates, and Rabbit calculates, and Owl
pontificates, Pooh just is.
And that''s a clue to the secret wisdom of the Taoists.

Authornarrator Hoff calls Winnie the Pooh a "Western Taoist" and uses
the unassuming bear to introduce Eastern philosophical principles. Pooh
epitomizes the "uncarved block," as he is well in tune with his natural
inner self. Pooh enjoys simple pleasures and the daily progress of life.
Hoff contrasts this unpretentiousness to other characters created by
Winnie - the - Pooh author A.A. Milne, including Owl, whom he describes
as a "mind that tries too hard," and Eeyore, the eternal pessimist. In a
clear and crisp voice, Hoff explains the central tenets of Taoism and
further illustrates them with familiar excerpts from The House at Pooh
Corner stories 1923, Chinese proverbs, maxims, and tales from Lao Tzu
and others. The result is at once thought-provoking and charming. This
is a small literary event that will leave all who experience it a little
more serene. For most collections.
