Bestselling author, hypnotherapist, and dream expert Kelly Sullivan Walden shares her four-step OGLE process in a humorous self-help memoir. Kelly teaches us how to shift our perspectives on tragedy and helps us look for the magic that can shine within some of our darkness moments.
Recoveries from heartbreaks and misfortune can be debilitating. In A Crisis Is a Terrible Thing to Waste, Kelly Sullivan Walden (aka the Dream Doctor) shares her own history of healing with therapy, shamans, gurus, 12-step programs, and her twenty-five years of working with clients as a dream therapist and encourages us to alchemize these challenges into a philosophy of strength, forgiveness, and personal transformation.

From a hot-air balloon crash in a wildlife refuge to a near-death experience on her fortieth birthday, Walden divulges both her own larger-than-life misadventures and debilitating losses alongside eye-opening stories from her clients and friends. Complete with healthy helpings of wisdom and humor, she flips the script with her four-step OGLE method and transforms the tragic into magic, a method designed to cut years off the recovery process and help turn suffering into optimism. With this book in hand, you'll find your way back to your inner heaven, even when all hell is breaking loose.

Guided by Kelly's wisdom and wit, you, too, can transform your life's unexpected tragedies and mishaps into magical journeys of self-exploration, love, and badassery.

      Starred review from January 1, 2023

      In this volume, dream expert/hypnotherapist Walden (Luminous Humanness) shares her life stories and how she has learned from them. She offers her OGLE method to turn life's situations into learning experiences. OGLE is an acronym that asks readers to identify the offending behavior or situation, figure out what good can be gleaned from the event, notice how you look at or self-examine yourself, and decide how to let this experience elevate you. In 30 chapters, Walden relates stories (her own and others') of 12-step programs, dropping out of college, experiencing physical assault and near-rape situations, and contemplating suicide. After each account, she demonstrates her application of the OGLE method and shows readers how to apply this tactic to their own lives so they can learn from every experience. VERDICT Written in a highly engaging style, Walden's book makes a good case that finding the lessons in even tragic events can lead to a happier and more fulfilled life. Best for general readership.--Jacqueline Parascandola
