'The Source marries universal truths with scientific rigor for a persuasive, important exploration of The Law of Attraction.' - Deepak Chopra MD
'[Like] the self-help success The Secret, but cooler and more sciencey.' - Evening Standard
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.

      Swart—a neuroscientist, former psychiatric doctor, and MIT lecturer—explores the psychological underpinnings of attracting success and happiness in her affable, illuminating debut. The “law of attraction” and “visualization” have dominated the self-help industry for several decades, she writes, while remaining free of empirical evidence. Looking to bridge that gap, Swart teaches readers how to retrain their behaviors and thoughts to fully utilize the apex “source”—their brain. Including lengthy endnotes to peer-reviewed evidence, success stories from past clients, and anecdotes from her own life, Swart stitches together a convincing argument that manifestation can work. Journal prompts and activities will help readers “rewire neural pathways” and create new mental pathways that will allow readers to “nimbly switch between different types of thinking.” Swart then provides suggestions for cultivating new pathways based on a three-pronged approach: physical exercise, novelty (trying out new things), and emotional stimulation. In the final sections dealing with managing and understanding emotions, Swart is at her best as she explains how readers can better listen to their bodies, enhance focus, rethink failure, stop disregarding their creativity, and remain resilient in working toward a more full life. Swart’s insightful ideas, backed by her neuroscience experience, will appeal to readers looking for a more scientific approach to “enhanced thinking.”
