When I took my first steps on the spiritual path," says Tami Simon, "I was looking for answers to life’s greatest mysteries. Over time I learned that the best books and teachers pointed us inward―to our own experience―and that this is where we can find our greatest sense of aliveness and purpose." On Being True, the founder of Sounds True distills essential lessons learned from 30 years of exploring the edge where spiritual wisdom meets the challenges of work, life, and love. Join her for four intimate sessions on:
 • Being true as a process―five keys for living in integrity • Spirituality in action―how we can apply our highest values in the workplace and in our relationships • Her most transformative encounters with spiritual teachers
 Sounds True listeners and followers of the Insights at the Edge podcast series have heard Tami introducing and interviewing leading voices in spirituality, science, and creativity. Now she speaks to you directly as a fellow traveler on the journey―sharing her most valuable insights on honoring your inner imperatives in the real world, meeting setbacks with an open heart, and remaining alive to the inner voice that always encourages each of us to "be true.

We spend countless hours training our dogs, but how often do we consider what they have to teach us? "Our canine companions aren’t just our best friends," explains Tami Simon. "Sometimes they can also be carriers of a special medicine and the wisdom lessons we most need." The Dharma of Dogs shares the reflections of spiritual teachers and writers who have found a source of deep truth and practical wisdom beneath the furry surface of our four-legged friends.
For anyone who loves dogs―and who has learned and grown through this special relationship―these 31 essays offer humor, solace, inspiration, and insight into the life lessons our dogs make available to us, exploring such themes as unconditional love, connecting with nature, facing our fears, and much more.
