AuthorViews is excited to welcome back Sandra Ingerman for her third installment on our site. Her new book is called How to Heal Toxic Thoughts, and provides helpful, practical tools for coping with stress and negative (toxic) feelings.
In this excerpt from How to Heal Toxic Thoughts, Ingerman explains the deep power behind words and their meanings. She reinforces this idea with a visualization exercise for the reader to practice. Relax...take a deep breath...and try it.
Ingerman has a very gentle and soothing air about her, which comes across well in her video. She truly embodies the message she's trying to convey -- to treat yourself, those around you, and the Earth with kindness and positivity.
For more on Sandra Ingerman, feel free to check out her video on Medicine for the Earth or the excerpt from Shamanic Journeying.

AuthorViews is proud to release an excerpt from inventor Hans Camenzind's Much Ado About *Almost* Nothing: Man's Encounter with the Electron, a book about the history of electron discovery, with profiles of the people who made the most (or the worst) out of it.
In Much Ado About *Almost* Nothing, Camenzind introduces the scientists, inventors, engineers and nobodies who toyed with electricity and, as a result, enriched our general understanding on the subject -- from historical figures as renowned as Ben Franklin and Alexander Graham Bell to the relatively unknown personalities who nonetheless made huge contributions.
In this excerpt, Camenzind covers the undistinguished Lee de Forest, an inventor and entrepreneur who just may be the "Father of Radio."
