About this listen

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)

This was a very convincing narrative. For anyone feeling that positive thinking and LOA is woo woo, this is the book for you. When a doctor/academic/deep thinker prosecutes the case for LOA - its very hard to dispute the message. I recommend this book.

Quite an interesting book, definitely thought provoking.
The author makes this incredibly easy to understand and apply to your own life/situations.
Definitely a book that I’ll return to again.

We are all born with the same “hardware” (if fortunate enough)… but what we choose to do with it depends completely on our ability to desire and do with complete conviction- regardless of what we have been conditioned to believe is capable.

The reality is, at the end of the day, if you want something bad enough, you make the effort to get there. This book provides the tools to take action. The only question that remains is, are you prepared to get uncomfortable enough to shift out of safety.

I will be incorporating similar styles and techniques to my clients… this has been fantastic ❤️‍🔥

It is what you make it 🤍

Dr T has a beautiful to listen to voice, clear and easy to understand language. She is positive but not that sickly over the top “motivational garb” . It’s a 10/10 for me, she’s really helping me out of a dark place with strategies to move forward! A therapist thru your headphones. We are very blessed. She’s amazing🙏
