"What's this you're writing?... asked Pooh, climbing onto the
writing table. "The Tao of Pooh,... I replied. "The how of Pooh?...
asked Pooh, smudging one of the words I had just written. "The Tao
of Pooh,... I replied, poking his paw away with my pencil. "It
seems more like ow! of Pooh,... said Pooh, rubbing his paw. "Well,
it's not,... I replied huffily. "What's it about?... asked Pooh,
leaning forward and smearing another word. "It's about how to stay
happy and calm under all circumstances!... I yelled. "Have you read
it?... asked Pooh... ...Winnie-the-Pooh has a certain way about
him, a way of doing things that has made him the world's most
beloved bear, and Pooh's Way, as Benjamin Hoff brilliantly
demonstrates, seems strangely close to the ancient Chinese
principles of Taoism. Follow the Pooh Way in this humorous and
enlightening introduction to Taoism, with classic decorations by
E.H.Shepard throughout. Over a million copies sold.
An utterly unique and accessible introduction to the ancient principles
of Taoism with the world's favourite bear, Winnie-the-Pooh and his
friend Piglet.
Winnie-the-Pooh has a certain way about him, a way of doing things that
has made him the world's most beloved bear, and Pooh's Way, as Benjamin
Hoff brilliantly demonstrates, seems strangely close to the ancient
Chinese principles of Taoism. And as for Piglet, he embodies the very
important principle of Te, meaning Virtue of the Small.
"It's hard to be brave,' said Piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're
only a Very Small Animal."
Rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "It is
because you are a very small animal that you will be useful in the
adventure before us."
Benjamin Hoff's explanations of Taoism and Te through Pooh and Piglet
show that this is not an ancient and remote philosophy but something
that you can use, here and now. Beautifully illustrated by E H Shepard.
