Dr Paulette Kouffman Sherman changed her life's focus with the law of attraction. At 33, she had finished her doctoral program and earned her licence as a psychologist, but she still felt a strong desire to make her life more joyous by finding and marrying the man of her dreams. As an advice columnist and a life coach, Dr Sherman saw that people of all ages felt hurt, rejected, and confused by the dating cycle. As a psychologist, her clients often would speak of past relationships and the dating cycle with such bitterness, not realizing that their negative thoughts were effectively pushing away the partners they so desperately wanted. It was only when they were able to release these steadfast beliefs that they began to see the light.
