About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

A Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller, the inspiring new book from neuroscientist and author of The Source, Dr Tara Swart, drawing on breath taking true stories, cognitive science, ancient wisdom and much more to show that signs can guide and empower us.


Have you ever experienced a coincidence that felt too unlikely to be true? Or have you seen or heard something that seemed to be a message from a lost loved one?

It’s all too easy to dismiss synchronicities or signs like these as chance. But what if they weren’t? And what if, by learning to tune into them, you could access a guiding wisdom that would help you overcome challenges and live with purpose?

In this ground breaking book, world-renowned neuroscientist Dr Tara Swart draws on her experience of grieving her beloved husband to explain how. Bringing together breath taking real-life stories with teachings from cognitive science, near-death experiences and much more, she’ll show you how to:

- Tap into your most important decision-making tool – your intuition
- Break free from the distractions and stress of modern life and focus on what matters most
- Shift your mindset from fixed thinking to openness and wonder, so you can see life’s limitless possibilities

With compelling theories about the nature of consciousness, honest reflections on grief and transformative tools to create a deep connection with the signs around you, let this book empower you to trust your instincts and thrive like never before.

'A tribute to consciousness, to connection and to those we’ve lost. This is more than a book, it’s a healing experience.’ Jay Shetty, bestselling author of Think Like a Monk and 8 Rules of Love

'A powerful blend of science, intuition and mystery’ Mel Robbins, bestselling author of The Let Them Theory and The 5 Second Rule

Loved the book, well researched and fascinating, however the readers voice gave me a headache and the urge to switch it off. Although beautiful and well spoken it was like listening to Queen Elizabeth and there's only so much i can take of that voice. A suggestion would be to have a few readers, mix it up, keep it interesting, rather than hours of monotone and tedious sameness, unvaried tone or pitch. Would like to listen again with a different reader.

Well researched, interesting book.

This book was interesting but it just got more delusional as it went on. The parts on angel cards and fibonacci numbers were just grasping at straws. Then we got to mediums it really went off the rails, in the first chapter they were rubbish, by chapter 3 she was using them to commune with the dead. I think it’s a bit narcissistic to think the dead are watching us like Netflix and spending the afterlife cheering us up. I returned the book after chapter 3.

She is a little self obsessed and a lot delusional.
