Scours, Adams. Thinking is a Threat to Your Well-Being. New York: Prince Books, 2004. Print.

Scours outlines facts against the act of thinking: 1) it causes mental instability 2) creates false truth 3) conjures negative atmospheres. His assertions are backed up by research by the most part, though some of his accusations are merely personal observations.  This text can still be trusted for its degree of accuracy, though. This source can be used in the section where there is a discussion on the negative aspects of thinking. thinking

Ford, Julia. Righteous Cognition. Chicago: Boardwalk Books, 2011. Print.

Ford presents a study at the Harvard School of Cognition that illustrates the effect of positive thoughts on surroundings and direct objects. Her conclusion is that positive thoughts have an explicit impact on environments and physical items. The exact effects are: cancerous cells reformed, a tendency towards diabetes being lowered, and physical growth among vegetation increases. The research and findings are purely scientific and not at all based on bias. This source can be placed in the area where the positive effects of thinking are discussed.

Liams, Sally. Eat Your Thoughts. Seattle: Rain City Press, 2012. Print.

Liams posits that more than what we eat, it is what we think that creates who we are. She propounds that thinking manifests our personal image and the image of others. This image, or the ego, is the lens that we see our existence through. She also discusses what would happen if we did not see through these lenses, pointing to the idea that reality is outside our thoughts. Her argumentation is well-cited, though she could be said to have taken liberties with some of her assertions. This source can used in giving light to both positive and negative aspects of the effects of thinking.

Short, Melanie. Thoughtless-Awareness. New York: Hiden Press, 2013. Print.

The author expounds on the concept of thoughtless-awareness, which is defined as being without thought, yet being aware of one’s surroundings acutely. The primary goal of her book is to explain this phenomena and its importance in our everyday lives. Her main position expressed is that once someone enters the state of thoughtless-awareness for the first time, they will be never be the same. The individual will feel effects such as increased stability in health, natural elation, and a sense of kinship that corresponds to collective consciousness. This source can be used in discussing both the negative and positive effects of thinking, as well as the effects of not thinking.
