Benjamin Hoff is a lover of Taoist thought and Winnie-the-Pooh.
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 that that effortlessly calm, still, reflective bear.
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, explored in The Tao of Pooh (review or buy).
