Description
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.
Advance Praise
“Death never happens no matter what anyone tells you! There is only life… in all its iterations. I was lucky to share that with Kelly Sullivan Walden after her near-death experience, of which she writes about in this book. Once we know that life doesn’t end when the body does, we can get on with the business of living with more freedom and joy. That’s what Kelly talks about in this book—she gives us the steps and tools to transform our tragic into magic…one metaphorical or literal lightning strike at a time!”
—Dannion Brinkley, New York Times bestselling author of Saved by the Light
“I hope your life is filled with grace, ease, and phenomenal prosperity. However, if you should encounter a bump in the road or any type of difficulty, my wish for you is that you learn how to see that life is never happening to you but for you. This is one of the reasons why I love Kelly Sullivan Walden’s book, A Crisis Is a Terrible Thing to Waste. It teaches us an enlightened perspective on how to perceive our tribulations and transform them into jubilation. The medicine in her 4-step OGLE process is truly life changing. I hope this book impacts you at least half as much as it has me!”
—Marie Diamond, bestselling author and star of The Secret
“Having our dream life—a life where our greatest desires come to pass—is our birthright. But it doesn’t materialize without us learning some hard lessons along the way. I prefer the easy way—don’t get me wrong—but I’m grateful for my missteps and challenges because they’ve deepened me and given me access to valuable aspects of my inner wisdom that I never would’ve discovered otherwise. To help us flip the tragic into magic, I recommend the radically simple but profound 4-step process Kelly Sullivan Walden writes about in her book, A Crisis is a Terrible Thing to Waste.”
—Christy Whitman, New York Times bestselling author
“We all face adversities, challenges, and many face crisis that leave them paralyzed. But what if in these times the gold is hidden under the mud? Kelly ignites us with practical tools and soulful wisdom to find our inner magician to free us from our personal cage and give us wings to believe that indeed we are the alchemist of our own life! And how grand is that?! Read the treasures of this book and find your magic tools.”
—Agapi Stassinopoulos, bestselling author of Speaking with Spirit
