The Thought Exchange by David Friedman

David Friedman has had a successful career as a musician (conductor, composer, singer) and has also developed a technique called "thought exchange"for managing your mind and emotions He gives talks and seminars on the technique which involves recognizing your emotions, paying attention to them and replacing their underlying thought with a different thought. His book, subtitled "Overcoming Our Resistance to Living a Sensational Life," explains the technique and is filled with wonderful examples of how it works. However the book is also very repetitive and could really have been written in about half the 473 pages he published. Nevertheless it has been inspirational and  led to some very good discussions in my metaphysics class.
