About this listen

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.

Seriously, my new favorite book. I don't remember falling in love with a book this way in quite a while.

Brilliant

I have been reading Winne the Pooh to my daughter while also reading a lot of self development and philosophy books for myself lately. I could see the themes coming up in Winnie the Pooh and my daughter loves the stories - how happy Pooh is, how grumpy Eeyore is and angry Rabbit is and so on. This is a fantastic book to explain to us adults why we should be more like Pooh. Enjoy the simple things in life and you will love life like Pooh bear.

Let's be honest a lot of books that try to explain spiritual philosophies can be painful to read. This is a great mix of fun, nostalgia & education.

Easy & fun way to learn about Taosim
