'A Mind Unraveled,' The US through the Eyes of a Cable Tech

Kurt Eichenwald joins us to discuss his book, A Mind Unraveled: A Memoir. This book chronicles Eichenwald's battle to pursue his dreams despite an often incapacitating brain disorder. From his early experiences of fear and denial to his search for treatment, Eichenwald provides a 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.

Lauren Hough, (36:08) writer and former cable tech, joins us to talk about her recent article for the Huffington Post, "I Was A Cable Guy. I Saw The Worst Of America."
