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 on 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]
Documentary Film[edit]
The book became the influence for the 2012 film by the same title. The film was directed by Usher Morgan and starred Friedman, Lucie Arnaz, Arje Shaw and others.[7][8] The film received a few positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes[9] and was widely reviewed by various self-help and spiritual bloggers [1][10][11][12][13] The film was released Straight-to-DVD on May, 2012.
