Hoff, Benjamin. The Tao of Pooh. 1982. 176p. ISBN 9781405204262. Available as an eBook on Overdrive.
Winnie the Pooh and his friends are character archetypes, each embodying a specific quality (or flaw) that colors their view of the world. Winnie himself is a go lucky and happy bear that follows the river without making wave. To Benjamin Hoff, this characteristic of Pooh makes him the perfect western Taoist.
Thus, Hoff spends time talking to Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore and the others to demonstrate how the way they live their lives relate to the ancient eastern philosophy of Taoism. So if you want to know how to live naturally and simply, this is the book for you.
