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)

Bought audio then book
I bought this as an audible to listen to as I go about my day. Tara has a lovely voice that is easy to listen to however I felt I also needed the book so I can look at the exercises and easily refer back to them.
Due to her calming tone I will be going between the two for the visualisation although not necessary.
Even if you are not looking to change your life this is an excellent educational book in modern neuroscience that is easy to follow and comprehend.

Opens up real possibilities to change your outlook on life
I’ve played this audible once right through whilst travelling to and from work. It’s opened my mind to different perspectives and ways of changing my ways of thinking and living a calmer life. I have dyslexia and will need to tap into this book many times, but I know it has good referencing and will help in the future. This book is easy listening with plenty common sense and a possible life changer for anyone who wants to soak it up and take it on board.

Great read
This book is definitely worth a read if you remotely believe in the power of our thoughts, it is all backed up with science. Dr Tara voice who narrates her own book is calming and caring. I hope everyone gets all they wish for!

Never too late to change!
A story beautifully read and honestly told of how to effect real change in one’s thinking, and enable a positive future. The simple techniques to start re-wiring self defeating thought processes and ‘stuckness’ are all the more convincing because they are founded on true science of the brain. Thank you Dr Swart.
