«The Source» by Tara Swart
What it is:
The complete title – «Open Your Mind – Change Your Life» – says it all: this is a classic self-help book. Author Tara Swart, a neuroscientist, leans heavily on recent findings from cognitive science, or the mind and its processes. She provides practical methods on how to rouse the slumbering potential of our minds and disrupt our hidebound mental patterns to reach personal goals and ambitions.
Why I recommend it:
This book stands apart from the slew of other self-improvement literature, which often veers into the esoteric and spiritual. Swart, whose writing makes science accessible, delivers the neurological proof that we can alter our thinking and behavior patterns with persistence and practice. The fascinating part: we can change our minds and neural networks through language, thinking, and visualization techniques.
