One of the best books on a Nobel laureate that I have ever read. John Nash is one of those men that managed to transcend a very difficult life and reach the apex of succeeding in the scientific world -- winning a Nobel prize. His Game Theory changed the twentieth century, both good and bad, and his struggle with schizophrenia is one that anyone who is coping with mental illness themselves, or in someone that they care for, is one that inspires and educates. I heartily recommend this one. Five stars overall.
