This is an interesting autobiography. The name actually got me thinking “what could a good disaster mean? There are no good disasters.” I guess the title of the book is just a choice of the author. I found the storyline intriguing and would love to know more.
Thank you for a good review.

Never Let a Good Disaster Go to Waste" by Kat Finnerty is a classic case of, ‘When life gives you lemons, go ahead and write a good book.’
The thorough review of this autobiographical memoir is very complimentary and thorough. When bad things happen to the author the reader gets upset and must read on to find out how it all resolves.
The author is Buddhist and within the pages has advice meted out in twelve short but powerful thoughts. This is a book that proves that one can put mind over matter and the process of a good life can be achieved
If you're going through hell, keep going.

This is really exceptional, and I am glad at no point in time in the book did Kat lose hope. What she went through are great obstacles in life, especially the fact that she was battling MS at the same time. I am glad that she pushed herself to success, and hence turning the disaster into an opportunity for change.
The title communicates a lot.
Many thanks for the review. :tiphat: :tiphat: :tiphat:

For someone who had an amusing childhood, it must be a shock to be betrayed by her best friend and husband. I'll like to learn how Kat dealt with her life's disasters and how everything turned out.

Newer Let a good disaster go to Waste sounds like an interesting memoir. The lessons that Kat's struggles in health and marriage uncover that help her grow and become a stronger and wiser woman from her circumstance. The time of suffering is the worst moment to be ignored or betrayed by the people you consider your friends. Thank you for the review.
