Lynne McTaggart

Lynne McTaggart is an award-winning investigative journalist, author, and speaker who has spent decades exploring the frontier where cutting-edge science meets consciousness and spirituality. Born in New York City in 1951, she built her early reputation as a rigorous investigative reporter — but a personal health crisis in her thirties sent her searching beyond conventional medicine, a journey that led her to co-found the influential magazine What Doctors Don't Tell You and, ultimately, to the questions that would define her life's work: What is consciousness? How connected are we, really? And can the mind affect the physical world? Those questions became a series of internationally bestselling books that have sold millions of copies in some 30 languages. The Field (2001) drew on frontier physics to explore the idea of an underlying energy field connecting all living things; The Intention Experiment (2007) turned that theory into action, launching a web-based "global laboratory" in which thousands of readers around the world take part in studies exploring the power of group intention. Her later works, The Bond and The Power of Eight®, focus on her discovery that small groups of people, united by a shared healing intention, appear to spark profound change — in their own lives and in one another. Dubbed "the Madonna of the Quantum World," she was even woven into the plot of Dan Brown's blockbuster novel The Lost Symbol. Consistently named among the world's 100 most spiritually influential people, McTaggart has spoken and led workshops on nearly every continent, and continues to guide a worldwide community through her Power of Eight groups, online courses, and large-scale global intention experiments. Based in London, she offers a hopeful, participatory vision: that our thoughts are not passive but creative, that we are far more interconnected than we appear, and that — individually and together — we hold a genuine power to heal ourselves and the world. For anyone drawn to the meeting point of science and spirit, her work is a compelling invitation.
