RELATIONSHIPS

Looking for love?

New books uncover the secrets of romance

By Katherine Wyrick

 

 Love is in the air—and on the page—at this time of year. Whether you’re searching for that soul mate or you’ve already found one, we’ve got a book for

you. Paulette Kouffman Sherman is a dating expert and psychologist with a holistic approach to finding a mate. In her practice, she noticed that her clients’

negative thoughts were actually driving away the partners they desired. Therein

lies the genesis of Dating from the Inside Out: How to Use the Law of Attraction

in Matters of the Heart (Atria, $14.95,192 pages, ISBN 9781582701943). In this

guide, Sherman claims that the pathway to an enduring, fulfilling relationship begins

with “setting clear intentions for love, and learning to be the partner they wish

to attract.” It’s no secret, Sherman insists, that if you live consciously, love will follow.

Meaning, know thyself and love thyself before you ask someone else’s self to

do the same. Anyone who’s heard of that not-so-secret book the Secret will find themselves on familiar terrain here.

 

Editorial Reviews

Review


"Dating From the Inside Out is a rare combination of sophisticated psychology, humanistic spirituality, and practical instruction for those seeking fulfillment in partnership. The wonderful surprise about Dr. Sherman's book is that it's not just for singles! It is equally a welcome refresher course for those looking to reinvigorate their relationships by creating new communication patterns that support loving and healthful interactions."—

Dr. Faith Bethelard, coauthor of Cherishment: A Psychology of the Heart



"In a world immersed in match.com, J-Date, and a host of other attempts at liaisons, Dr. Paulette Sherman brings us a book which addresses intimacy and passion, as well as self-knowledge. It's a wonderful resource for therapists who continue to meet clients with a genuine desire for relationships with a future. Our writer is a woman of integrity and insight. Her words are those of a mature writer; her spirit of enthusiasm and hope not just enlighten, but envision a better future for the reader. This writer and her fine book have my enthusiastic endorsement."—

Bruce Lackie, Ph.D., Director of The Black Rock Center for Psychotrauma

 
"Dr. Sherman has produced an extremely well written, lucid manual that really goes beyond dating, to living in general. Using her own experiences and those of her clients, she has produced a roadmap that is easy to follow and which, if followed, should lead to a great deal of satisfaction in finding people with whom to be happy. She has translated important concepts from her experience as a therapist and as a dating coach into everyday language that is easy to understand."—

Dr. Robert Myers, ABPP, psychologist and professor of psychology at the Institute of Graduate Clinical Psychology at Widener University



"This book distills the wisdom of a hundred years of psychology to its most essential and practical basics: Understand your past to better control your dating future. Its techniques are clear, sensible, and revealing." –

Barry J. Jacobs, Psy.D., author of The Emotional Survival Guide for Caregivers

 

“Dating From the Inside Out” is insightful, focused, personal and enlightening.  Best described, this primer on self-awareness is a starting point in a journey of a lifetime.  Through inspirational activities and creative strategies Dr. Sherman skillfully leads the reader into a journey of self-exploration.  “Dating From the Inside Out’” sends the compelling message you must first be happy with who YOU are before You can share your heart.”-

Tara Saltzman, PH.D., Executive Dean of Strategic Initiatives & Global Enterprise for Academic Development at Nova Southeastern University.

 

“Used in conjunction with traditional psychotherapy, Dr. Sherman’s book provides a useful tool for those ready to embrace a satisfying and lasting relationship. A creative approach to dating that’s definitely worth a look.”-

Mona Daniels, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist

 

“Dr. Sherman’s dating approach takes you into your heart so you can love more fully and attract the mate of your dreams.”-

Cindy Ross, single CFO

Product Description

Dr.
Sherman
's methods have worked for her clients and even herself. Now with her help, find the perfect match for you!

Each of us deserves to love and be loved in return. How can you find real, deep, and lasting love in a world that appears so superficial? Rather than looking at the world of dating like an obstacle course to be conquered, Dr. Paulette Kouffman Sherman shows that it can become an enlightening journey toward love that begins from within. By examining past experiences, understanding family dynamics, and exploring the place of spiritual connection in the dating world, Dr. Sherman illuminates the path to self-awareness -- the path that leads to the kind of real love you have been searching for. Finding your dating style and the set of beliefs you hold about your self-worth liberates you from just spinning your wheels and repeating mistakes. Dr. Sherman shows how we can become the partner we wish to attract, and asserts that anyone can learn how to truly let go of their past, embrace the present, and use the Law of Attraction to draw in a partner who is perfect for who you are -- without pretending to be someone you're not.

(excerpt from Publishers Weekly)

Live Long and Prosper

Where are abundance books headed in the post-Secret era?

by Lauren F. Winner -- Publishers Weekly, 8/13/2007

Suggest prosperity to yourself. See yourself in a prosperous condition. Affirm that you will before long be in a prosperous condition. Affirm it calmly and quietly, but strongly and confidently.... Expect it—keep it continually watered with expectation. You thus make yourself a magnet to attract the things that you desire."

That paragraph is not an excerpt from Rhonda Byrne's blockbuster The Secret. It's a snippet from Ralph Waldo Trine's In Tune with the Infinite: Or, Fullness of Peace, Power, and Plenty, which was published in 1897.

Books yoking spiritual concerns to the pursuit of prosperity are nothing new. As Joel Fotinos, v-p and publisher of Penguin/Tarcher, notes, "People are perennially interested in how they can be both spiritual and prosperous." But every few years a book comes along that recalibrates things for publishers interested in spirituality and prosperity. (Remember The Prayer of Jabez ?) Today's book, undeniably, is The Secret. What can we expect from the spiritual prosperity genre in the post-Secret era?

 

Getting Practical

Cynthia Black, president and editor-in-chief of Beyond Words Publishing, who acquired the book, says that readers are inspired by The Secret in part because Byrne "presented things in an emotional way that touched people's hearts. But now people are looking for more concrete ways" to apply the secrets of The Secret, so Black is bringing out books with a more practical edge: Dating from the Inside Out: How to Use the Laws of Attraction in Matters of the Heart by Paulette Sherman (Feb. 2008) teaches romantic readers how to attract a different kind of person, and True Self True Wealth: A Pathway to Prosperity by Peter Hays Cole and Daisy Reese (Oct.) helps readers identify the financial messages they inherited from their family, and get their financial house in order. Jill Kramer, editorial director of Hay House—which publishes Esther and Jerry Hicks's popular books, including the forthcoming Money and the Law of Attraction (Mar. 2008)—says that people have flocked to The Secret in part because of its simplicity: "People want books that offer them something they can do very simply. This is something you can do in your own mind. You don't have to go anywhere or attend a seminar."
