Mon Aug 3, 2009 at 6:16 PM

"I am successful," "I am a wonderful person," "I will find love again," many other similar phrases that students, the broken-hearted and unfulfilled employees may repeat to themselves over and over again, hoping to change their lives.

New research suggests it may do more harm than good to many people.READ»
