SUMMARY:Kurt Eichenwald
DESCRIPTION:Kurt Eichenwald\n\n\n\n\npresents A Mind Unraveled: A Memoir\, the compelling story of an acclaimed journalist and New York Times bestselling author’s ongoing struggle with epilepsy–his torturous decision to keep his condition a secret to avoid discrimination\, and his ensuing decades-long battle to not only survive\, but to thrive. \n“Inspirational in the true sense of the word….It is written with great verve and wisdom by someone who has closely and thoughtfully detailed his own plight as well as the journey out of it….A book to take heart from.”–Daphne Merkin\, The New York Times Book Review \nTo reserve your seat\, please purchase a copy of A Mind Unraveled by speaking to a bookseller or ordering through our website. \n\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, March 21\, 2019 – 7:30pm\n\n\n\n\n\nAs a college freshman\, Kurt Eichenwald awoke one night on the floor of his dorm room\, confused and in pain. In the aftermath of that critical moment\, his once-carefree life would be consumed by confrontations with medical incompetence\, discrimination that almost cost him his education and employment\, physical abuse\, and dark moments when he contemplated suicide. \nThis is the story of one man’s battle to pursue his dreams despite an often incapacitating brain disorder. From his early experiences of fear and denial to his exasperating search for treatment\, Eichenwald provides a deeply candid account of his years facing this misunderstood and often stigmatized condition. He details his encounters with the doctors whose negligence could have killed him\, but for the heroic actions of a brilliant neurologist and the family and friends who fought for him.  \nUltimately\, A Mind Unraveled is an inspirational story\, one that chronicles how Eichenwald\, faced often with his own mortality\, transformed trauma into a guide for reaching the future he desired. Defying relentless threats to his emotional and physical well-being\, he affirmed his decision to never give up\, and in the process learned how to rise from the depths of despair to the heights of unimagined success. \nKurt Eichenwald is the author of four previous nonfiction books. His second\, The Informant\, was made into a movie starring Matt Damon and directed by Steven Soderbergh. In addition to his distinguished work as a senior writer at Newsweekand a contributing editor at Vanity Fair\, Eichenwald spent two decades as a senior writer at The New York Times\, where he was a two-time finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. He is also a two-time winner of the George Polk Award\, as well as the winner of the Payne Award for Ethics in Journalism and an Emmy Award nominee. He lives in Dallas with his family. \n\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\n2904 College Avenue\n\nBerkeley\, CA 94705
