Book Review: The Science of Manifestation: It's Not Woo-Woo Anymore!

Episode 80

Listen to The Art of Plenty every Thursday to gain insights and inspiration to live a life you love.



Are you a bit of a skeptic when it comes to manifestation? Like, you're cool with positive thinking, but the whole "manifest your dreams" thing still feels a little woo-woo? Then this episode is for YOU! Today, I'm diving into "The Source" by Dr. Tara Swart. She's a neuroscientist and psychiatrist who finally bridges the gap between spirituality and science, explaining how manifestation actually works in your brain! This book was the missing piece for me, taking a concept I first heard in faith communities and giving it solid, scientific grounding. I'll share why I absolutely love this book (it's covered in my notes, seriously! ), how it gives you practical exercises to build your manifestation muscles, and how I'm using it to create my own artistic "action board." If you're ready to explore manifestation without feeling like you're just faking it, you've gotta check out this book.
