Sounds True was founded in 1985 by Tami Simon with a clear mission: to disseminate spiritual wisdom. Since starting out as a project with one woman and her tape recorder, we have grown into a multimedia publishing company with more than 80 employees, a library of more than 600 titles featuring some of the leading teachers and visionaries of our time, and an ever-expanding family of customers from across the world. In more than two decades of growth, change, and evolution, Sounds True has maintained its focus on its overriding purpose, as summed up in our Vision Statement:
Sounds True exists to inspire, support, and serve personal transformation and spiritual awakening.
Sounds True is an independent multimedia publishing company that embraces the world's major spiritual traditions, as well as the arts and humanities, embodied by the leading authors, teachers, and visionary artists of our time. Our approach to publishing is not dependent on a single format or technology—rather, we strive with every title to preserve the essential "living wisdom" of the author, artist, or spiritual teacher. It is our goal to create products that not only provide information to a reader or listener, but that also embody the essential quality of a wisdom transmission between a teacher and a student.
Publisher of books and audios that bring wisdom to life--since 1969.
We believe there’s an enlightened way of approaching every aspect of our lives, and, for more than forty years now, we’ve been bringing you books that bear witness to that belief--while providing you with practical ways to apply it. Our vision of independent publishing has led us to an ever-growing range of subjects that include spirituality, health, philosophy, self-help, creativity, literature, and the arts--with a particular emphasis on Buddhism, including the whole spectrum of schools and traditions.
