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)

Everything I needed and more
I just finished this book and I am blown away by how much it resonated with me. So interesting but mostly everything felt so true to me.
Haven’t stopped telling everyone I know about it. I listened to the audio but am about to go and by the physical book as this is something I want to be in my safe space always.
Really eye opening. If your thinking about reading or listening do not delay any further, so it, you won’t regret it!

My new favourite
Dr Tara Swart has an easy and pleasant voice to listen to. But the whole experience from this book actually did more for me than anything else I have tried. I love how there is science backed information and learning how to retrain my mind is refreshing and comforting to know. I highly recommend this book. I looked forward to listening to more of it, at the end of each day, I was fascinated by the information, I bought the paperback so I can highlight the areas that stand out for me. This will be my go to listen and I know I will listen to it many times again. It will be the best Credit you have spent.

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.

Historical theories in contemporary context
Really enjoyed this updated and very recent science-backed version of the general principles of abundance, mindfulness and manifesting as taught by various experts. Authors highly qualified in various disciplines to explain the many aspects and breaks it all down concisely. Her voice is captivating and relaxing to listen to and it’s the best and most comprehensive step by step guide for people to start their journey with.

I’m going to listen to this again.
This book was so much more than I ever hoped for. I thought if I’m honest I would lose interest pretty quickly as I have a short attention span, but I listened the whole way through and found all of the content highly relevant and motivating. As a result I’ve identified my next career move, it will mean big changes, but I’m ready for it! 10/10 for The Source.

Absolutely loved it
Such a great book to unravel the workings of our mind and then offer some really simple, easy and manageable ways to change our thinking, patterns and behaviours.
Excellent book for anyone interested in self development and thinking outside the box.
