The powerful, dramatic biography of math genius John Nash, who overcame serious mental illness and schizophrenia to win the Nobel Prize.
“How could you, a mathematician, believe that extraterrestrials were sending you messages?” asked the Harvard visitor to the West Virginian with movie-star looks and Olympian manner.
“Because the ideas I had about supernatural beings came to me the same way my mathematical ideas did,” came the answer. “So I took them seriously.”
Thus begins the true story of John Nash, the intensely human drama of a mathematical genius who, early in life, made an astonishing discovery and stood on the brink of international acclaim when he slipped into madness.
Thanks to the selflessness of his devoted wife, Alicia, and the loyalty of the mathematics community, Nash emerged after decades of a ghostlike existence to win a Nobel Prize for triggering the game theory revolution.
Sylvia Nasar’s now-classic biography, which inspired an Academy Award-winning movie, is a drama about the mystery of the human mind, triumph over adversity, and the healing power of love.
"A Beautiful Mind" on Audible, Kindle, and Hardcover
Sylvia Nasar was a New York Times economics correspondent from 1991 to 1999 and the first John H. and L. Knight Professor of Journalism at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. Nasar broke the story of John Forbes Nash Jr. in the New York Times and achieved international acclaim for her epic biographical study, A Beautiful Mind. Her biography of Nash, a mathematician, game theorist, and winner of the 1994 Nobel Prize in Economics, won the National Book Critics Circle Award and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. A drama about the mystery of the human mind in three acts, A Beautiful Mind inspired the eponymous Academy Award-winning movie by Ron Howard. Nasar followed up this triumph with 'The Grand Pursuit: The Story of Economic Genius', a sweeping history of the development of modern economics. Sylvia Nasar grew up in Germany and Turkey, the daughter of a German mother and Uzbek father who served as the CIA station chief in Ankara. Nasar's work has appeared in the New Yorker, BusinessWeek, the New York Times Book Review, and numerous other publications.
