A Mind Unraveled

Kurt Eichenwald ’83 spoke on campus in February about his latest book, A Mind Unraveled, which centers on his life with epilepsy, including challenges he faced as a Swarthmore student, and his ensuing decades-long battle not only to survive, but to thrive.

“People say this book is a story of survival, no, this book is a story of control,” he says. “It’s a story of my decision that, no matter what happened, I would envision a life I wanted to live and I would live that life.”
