Tesla: A Man out of Time
The book of "a man out of time" circulates the story of Tesla who was a futurist, a scientist, and an engineer. As the title of the book suggests, Tesla carried out different activities that acted as proof that he was not living in his era because some of the things that he did are the definition of technology in the 21st century. Throughout his life, Tesla went through a lot of events that had various impacts on how he handled things and the person that he turned out to be.
Among the events that took place in Tesla's life is the case of the laugh therapy. Tesla was seriously ill and regardless of the care and treatment that he got from the doctors, the illness did not show any progress of healing. As a result, doctors had given up on him. However, one day he read some quotes written by Mark Twain and started laughing uncontrollably (Cheney 2011). It was at that time when the healing process began.

In life, not every achievement is acknowledged accordingly due to the fact that the world has been corrupted by the greed for material things. This explains why Tesla moved on despite the fact that his invention was being sold unfairly.
Besides, Tesla had an imagination that the sun was a body packed with high electric charges which caused it to emit rays. When such rays were impinging the earth's atmosphere, they would bring a glowing effect of the sun hence explaining the reason why the sun is visible as a glow of light. Such imaginations helped Tesla in growing his practical skills in other fields other than science. As well, given the fact that his imagination was right, then it kept on motivating him to imagine more phenomena that were occurring in the world. Among them was the formation of the auroras, lightening, and electric shocks among others. Imagination was Tesla's key to practicing ...
