Imaginal Box summaries are designed to distil the wisdom of world's most influential spiritual traditions and teachers for those with too many books to listen to and not enough time. To do this, we distil the themes of the book into what we call imaginal ideas, encapsulated nuggets of spiritual wisdom designed to be easy to grasp so you can get all of the wisdom in a fraction of the time.

In addition, we add editorial annotations offering context to the ideas expressed in the book so that listeners of our summary can explore related areas. In addition, we also offer imaginal steps—short pieces of actionable advice which you can follow to integrate the wisdom into your life.

However, while we endeavour to make our summaries the perfect balance of concise and comprehensive, if any of the ideas in this book resonate with you, then we encourage you to buy a copy of the original work to deepen your knowledge and further your journey.
