A Brilliant Madness

The story of Nobel Prize winning mathematician John Nash on The American Experience.

The remarkable story of Professor John Nash has captivated audiences around the world. In A BEAUTIFUL MIND, author Sylvia Nasar profiled this brilliant mathematician who suffers from schizophrenia. The Academy Award-winning film of the same name paints a fascinating portrait of genius, delusions, and madness.

"A Conversation with John Nash" takes the critical next step; it invites listeners to learn how Nash himself experienced his illness and to share in his account of how he used his exceptional mind to control his ailing brain. Throughout the conversation, Nash reveals a side of himself rarely seen -- he is charming, funny, and touching, yet at times withdrawn and insensitive.
