Publisher's summary

Brought to you by Penguin. Life-changing opportunities pass us by every day – now we can train our minds to seize them

Self-help books like The Secret promise that we can tap into the 'law of attraction' to control our destiny, simply by changing our thoughts. If we strip away the mystique, at the heart of this idea is a fundamental truth that is backed up by the latest breakthroughs in neuroscience: most of the things we want from life – health, happiness, wealth, love - are governed by our ability to think, feel and act; in other words, by our brain.

Dr Tara Swart, a neuroscientist and executive coach with a background in psychiatry, is convinced beyond all doubt of our ability to alter how our brains work - and transform our lives. In The Source, she draws on the latest cognitive science and her experience coaching highly successful people to reveal the secret to mastering our minds.

With a four-step plan to awaken the power of your brain, this unique guide to life combines science and spirituality in a way that is open-minded and practical. Discover how to:
- Challenge 'autopilot' thinking and rewire your brain's pathways to fulfil your potential
- Manifest the things you want by directing your energy towards your deepest values and ambitions
- Harness the power of visualisation to prime your brain to grab opportunities and take control of your future
- Attack life with confidence, dispel fear and avoid negative thinking

Unlock your potential today – you are just four steps away from building a new confident you.

Critic reviews

"Tara Swart is an extremely calming presence, all the more so for being palpably intelligent. Her brain appears to require no boosting. I’d sign up in an eye blink...I like her - a lot." (Hannah Betts, The Times) 

"Dr Tara Swart is friendly, charming, and knows what she’s talking about. Having qualified as a doctor, then trained as a neuroscientist, she worked as a psychiatrist before going into private practice as a highly sought-after expert to the rich and famous." (Janet Street-Porter, Daily Mail)

"Neuroscientist Dr Tara Swart works with some of the City’s highest-earning and most respected leaders in finance, law and media." (Evening Standard) 

Finally a book that explains how we manifest

Great read, highly recommend! No hocus pocus new age nonsense about manifesting here.

I’ve been mediating for 9 years now and manifesting has become so much easier and more aligned with my actual authentic self and desires.

Thanks to The Source I finally understand the how, the science of it... I can now dive deeper!

Thanks for writing this book!

Practical, deeply enlightening and life changing.

Tara has a unique gift where she combines science with the law of attraction in an exciting and easy to understand way. Tara’s message is powerful and genuinely life changing. I’m so grateful she has shared her knowledge with the world. It is a better place because of it.

Fabulous SOURCE for a Life Reset

I loved this. I heard Dr Swart on a podcast and was intrigued and motivated to buy this book.
She describes by a step by step system backed by neuroscience with proven techniques to create a different outcome for your life.
I am currently working through her steps and have already found the mindset shift to be so beneficial.
If you need or want to reset, this book will help.

Bad science and boring self help

I really struggle to get what the actual point of this book is, it is doesn’t reveal any evidence of science of neuroplasticity to support its arguments for law of attraction nonsense.
