About Tami Simon

Tami Simon started Sounds True at the age of 22 with a dream and a tape recorder. Though she had no experience running a business and only a vague idea of what she wanted the company to be, Tami had her guiding principle strongly in place: to disseminate spiritual wisdom. Over its 36-year history, Sounds True has grown into a multimedia publisher that has produced over 6,000 titles, has been included twice in the Inc. 500 list of the fastest-growing companies, and is North America’s leading publisher of spoken-word spiritual teachings.

One of the world’s very first organizations to focus on multiple bottom lines as part of its founding mandate, Sounds True has expanded steadily over the years while staying true to its original mission. Partnering with the leading spiritual teachers of our time, Sounds True now has a successful book publishing program (distributed by Macmillan) and has grown to produce events, certification programs, and transformational online learning experiences.

Tami hosts the popular Sounds True podcast, Insights at the Edge, which has now been downloaded more than 20 million times. She is also the founder of the Sounds True Foundation, which is dedicated to bringing spiritual education to people who would otherwise not have access. She lives in Boulder, Colorado, and in British Columbia with her wife, Julie Kramer, and their two spoodles, Raspberry and Bula.

Excellent sharing with people and their dogs.

I have a dog named Sadie now, who is 10. I have also had Jessie, and Toby. All three have given me love and companionship and a joy of life. Also exercise and the love of nature. They have jumped into lakes with me, gone on every hike, played in the snow while I snow showed,

slept with their heads on my lap, and barked at the air when they thought there was trouble. Sadie is an English lab mix, who smiles at me when she lies down on the grass at the park, after chasing her ball many times. People are amazed that she can walk all over the neighborhood without a leash, but she knows where to go. This book embodies all these qualities and more by people who feel dogs are their soul mates and love and experience their companionship with joy and wonder.
