Description:
The Tao of Pooh presents Taoist philosophy through the simplicity and clarity of A. A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh, using familiar literary moments to illuminate ideas such as balance, non-striving, humility, and harmony with the natural order. Hoff’s approach avoids abstraction and doctrine, allowing philosophical insight to emerge through observation, tone, and everyday experience. First published in hardcover in 1982 and later issued in this early Penguin paperback, the book became a quiet cultural bridge between Eastern philosophy and Western literary imagination. Now out of print by the author’s choice, it remains a touchstone work that continues to circulate through carefully preserved copies rather than new printings.
