In How to Avoid a Stupid Man: A Woman's Guide to Attracting Her Soul Mate, author L.E. Coleman, takes women on a journey of spiritual self-exploration to help them discover why they keep attracting the wrong kinds of men. He offers fresh perspectives on the 'laws of attraction' and shows women how they often attract men who mirror themselves spiritually and psychologically. Coleman calls on women to become Power Women. That is, he wants women to become self-aware of their innate power to create the kinds of relationships they want. But this can only happen after women have dealt with issues surrounding their self esteem, self-image, their perception about love and relationships, and possible codependent behaviors, all of which have been killing their chances at finding that special someone.
