The Source - The Secrets of the...

Anónimo

For the first time, a Neuroscientist and Senior Lecturer at MIT reveals the surprising science that supports The Law of Attraction as an effective tool for self-discovery and offers a guide to discovering your authentic self to access your best life now.
Self-help books like The Secret show us that if we can tap into “The Law of Attraction,” we have the power to change our destiny simply by reshaping our mind. Millions of people have used the ancient systems of manifestation and visualization to find health, success, love, friendship, wealth, and more. But does the “Law of Attraction” actually work? And more important, is this kind of life-changing philosophy within reach for everyone, even the most skeptical among us?

As Dr. Tara Swart, psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and Senior Lecturer at MIT shows us in The Source, if we can strip away our skepticism, these ancient tools of manifestation and visualization are fundamentally powerful and incredibly effective at freeing us of self-limiting behaviors and propelling us toward our truest, most authentic selves. Swart reveals how and why these systems actually work by offering the latest breakthroughs in neuroscience and behavioral psychology, including lessons in neuroplasticity, magneticism, emotional and logical thinking, and even hydration, self-care, and relaxation. Next, she describes her own journey from skeptic to believer, and guides readers through the scientific breakthroughs and personal revelations that changed her from an unhappy, close-minded, and disconnected woman wanting more from life, to a successful entrepreneur living with confidence, purpose, and joy.

The truth is, most of the things we want—health, happiness, wealth, love—are governed by our ability to think, feel, and act—in other words, by our brain. Dr. Swart combines the insights and inspiration of The Secret with the practical lessons of The Master Key System to help a new generation fulfill their dreams. The Source is a rigorous, proven toolkit for unlocking our minds—and reaching our fullest potential.

How Religion Shaped Everything...

Rachel Thornfield

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
How deeply have religious traditions shaped your values, assumptions, and worldview even if you consider yourself secular today? Rachel Thornfield explores the profound influence of religious thinking on modern culture, law, and psychology in this illuminating audiobook about hidden foundations. Discover how concepts you consider universal or obvious actually derive from specific religious traditions that became invisible through cultural dominance over centuries. Through historical analysis and cross-cultural comparison, Thornfield reveals the religious origins of ideas about time, morality, human nature, and society that seem self-evident today. Learn how Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and other traditions embedded themselves so thoroughly in Western civilization that their influence goes unrecognized by most people. This guide examines how religious assumptions shape secular institutions including education, government, and science in ways practitioners rarely acknowledge openly. Understand how your deepest beliefs about right and wrong, purpose and meaning, likely trace to theological frameworks whether or not you practice any religion actively. Thornfield provides perspective for both believers and skeptics on how religious heritage continues operating in contemporary life pervasively. Whether you follow a faith tradition or reject religion entirely, this audiobook will transform your understanding of where your ideas actually come from historically. Perfect for anyone interested in the hidden foundations of modern thought, culture, and social organization.
