A Mind Unraveled: A Memoir

The compelling story of an acclaimed journalist andÂ New York TimesÂ bestselling authorâ€™s ongoing struggle with epilepsyâ€”how, through personal resilience and the support of loved ones, heovercame medical incompetence and institutional discrimination to achieve once unthinkable success.Â Â

â€œREMARKABLE . . . inspirational in the true sense of the word.â€â€”The New York Times Book ReviewÂ

This is the story of one manâ€™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, Kurt 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.Â

Ultimately,Â A Mind UnraveledÂ 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.
