Today, LitNuts is shining a spotlight on three powerful books from author and former flight attendant Nattanya Andersen. Follow Nattanya's experience of surviving an engine explosion mid-flight and overcoming PTSD while also battling the mental health industry and the military-industrial complex:
Broken Wings: A Flight Attendant's Journey
Genres: Memoir, General NonfictionPriced from $2.99 (Free via Kindle Unlimited)
An eye-opening must-read that will deeply touch all travel professionals and passengers
Following an in-flight engine explosion, senior flight attendant Nattanya Andersen was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). But the airline company denied Nattanya's problems, leading her to fight back against her employer, the airline industry, unions, and multi-government bureaucracies, all shamelessly maneuvering to deny benefits and maximize profits.
Refreshingly, this tale is not told from a powerless victim's position but with the use of balance and humor for truth and justice. Ultimately, the author brings hope that, at some point, corporations will switch from a context of denial to a desire of monitoring and improving their employees' and customers' health and well-being.
★★★★★ "Finally a book that spells out the truth about what being a flight attendant is all about." ~Amazon Review
The Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Fallacy

A Mental Health Industry Bonanza of Profit and Human Destruction
After surviving a mid-air engine explosion, flight attendant Nattanya Andersen was thrown into the surprisingly unscrupulous world of the mental health industry. As one of the few to escape its grasp with her faculties still intact, Andersen reveals the secrets that mental health practitioners don’t want you to know.
Meticulously researched, The Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Fallacy shines a light on an industry that defies scrutiny. After more than a decade of “treatment,” the author reveals a shocking truth about PTSD that few people know, and still fewer will tell. A must-read for anyone who has been diagnosed with PTSD, this book reveals the shocking deep secrets the mental health industry and the military-industrial complex does NOT want you to know!
★★★★★ "Challenges the basic assumptions about the PTSD treatment." ~Goodreads Review
Serving Evil
Genres: Medicine & Psychology, Post-Traumatic StressPriced from $5.99 (Free via Kindle Unlimited)
A thought-provoking journey into one woman’s experience and extensive research into PTSD
After surviving being blown out of the sky, flight attendant Nattanya Andersen then had to survive battling 23 psychiatrists and psychologists employed by the airline corporation, industry and Workers Compensation Board, all of whom seemed intent on driving her to suicide.
With the help of an Irish psychiatrist, Nattanya survived 10 years of that corporate traumatization. Many years later, after combining her personal experience with massive amounts of research into PTSD, Nattanya reveals the shocking truth: the powers that be want to sweep you and your PTSD under the rug rather than do everything they can to assist you in reclaiming your life. Keeping you sick and treating you is clearly more profitable.
★★★★ "An eye-opener!" ~Amazon Review
