The Thought Exchange

Last updated

The Thought Exchange: Overcoming Our Resistance To Living A Sensational Life is a self-help book written by David Friedman, published in 2011. A response to the law of attraction, [1] it claims that positive thinking techniques and self-help books cannot work unless the person becomes aware of his/her physical sensations and is willing to experience them. [2] The book also suggests that we are invisible 'avatars' who experience the world by noticing sensations and thoughts. [3] The book was promoted on the Today Show in April 2011. [4] [5] The methods mentioned in the Thought Exchange are also taught by Friedman in New Thought Churches across the United States. [6]
