By Benjamin Hoff. 1982 (1983), Penguin, 158pp, 7x5". Taoism explained using the characters of Winnie the Pooh to illustrate. Uses Winnie the Pooh as the starting point for a description of Taoism, which advocates a "go with the flow" approach to life. Pooh doesn't try to force any situation to fit his preconceived notions. Pooh just is, allowing life's experiences to flow through him. Told in the style of the Pooh stories, the author "interviews" the imaginary bear to discover his philosophy. "The how of Pooh? The Tao of what? 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 infact 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."
