  <default_description>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.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I've always been crazy about Winnie the Pooh.  I've always secretly wanted to be a great sage.  This book is like a dream come true-- Philosophy in the eyes of Winnie the Pooh.
