Why would he be on his phone checking Twitter at a fancy fundraiser full of Washington bigwigs? Seems kind of rude. Or implausible.

Oh, I can totally buy that if he were at a fancy fundraiser full of Washington bigwigs, that he's such a Twitter addict that he would feel compelled to check his phone; what I don't buy is him being invited to any such event in the first place.

Wouldn't there be some kind of public announcement of such a fundraising event? They'd probably announce anyone notable who was there, too. Wouldn't a dude who's been a senior writer for Newsweek and Vanity Fair qualify? Where's the press coverage, Kurt?
 

This is an exact representation of what Kurt thinks would happen if the gif-defusal robot wasn't there to save them.

In the video Kurt is represented by Homer (and not just because lol fatbald) who sees other people having seizures and decides to fake his own to fit in.
 
Anybody have his new book with an extremely unfortunate title?

The compelling story of an acclaimed journalist and New York Times bestselling author’s ongoing struggle with epilepsy—his torturous decision to keep his condition a secret to avoid discrimination, and his ensuing decades-long battle to not only survive, but to thrive.

As a college freshman, Kurt Eichenwald awoke one night on the floor of his dorm room, confused and in pain. In the aftermath of that critical moment, his once-carefree life would be consumed by confrontations with medical incompetence, discrimination that almost cost him his education and employment, physical abuse, and dark moments when he contemplated suicide.

This is the story of one man’s battle to pursue his dreams despite an often incapacitating brain disorder. From his early experiences of fear and denial to his exasperating search for treatment, Eichenwald provides a deeply 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.

Many of Eichenwald’s recollections are drawn from his diaries, vivid and painstakingly kept records that helped sharpen his skills as a journalist. He raises important questions about the nature of memory, the revelations of brain science, and the profound mysteries of human perception.

Ultimately, A Mind Unraveled is an inspirational story, one that chronicles how Eichenwald, faced often with his own mortality, transformed trauma into a guide for reaching the future he desired. Defying relentless threats to his emotional and physical well-being, he affirmed his decision to never give up, and in the process learned how to rise from the depths of despair to the heights of unimagined success.

Advance praise for A Mind Unraveled

“A Mind Unraveled reads like a medical thriller, at times truly frightening but also deeply inspiring. This book will make me think differently as a doctor. Kurt Eichenwald is a tremendously talented writer. When you travel on his personal journey, it is pure gold.”—Sanjay Gupta, M.D., chief medical correspondent, CNN

“This book absolutely floored me. It’s a medical mystery unlike any I’ve read before, with a propulsive narrative. Trust me, you won’t be able to put it down.”—Bryan Burrough, New York Times bestselling author of Barbarians at the Gate

“This powerful account provides an important blueprint for anyone struggling to overcome serious challenges.”—Katie Couric

My library insists they're going to order a copy. They've also told me that I'm the only person who's asked.

I just hope it has some lurid depictions of steamy gay seizure rape.
 
I would just pirate the book, but apparently no one cares enough about Kurt Eichanwald to torrent his books.

He's probably correct about not being a good actor, but given everything we've seen in this thread, isn't it more likely that he's breaking down in tears simply because of how much he's managed to fuck up his own life and reputation? I'd be surprised if he can go through an entire day without falling into manic sobbing given how pathetic he is.
 
The hilarious thing about him leaving the sobbing in is that it's so fucking calculated. He'd defend himself by calling it "authentic" but no one with any sense of shame or professionalism would actually leave that in. They'd stop the recording, compose themselves, and read it again... that's the normal human reaction, not to leave yourself sobbing and blubbering on the tape in a professional product. So even if it was authentic (and I'd believe he wrote fiction that he thinks is emotional enough to make himself cry), actually deciding to leave it in is pure, calculated appeal to emotion, so that he could brag on himself and fish for sympathy.

Like almost everything Eichenwald does, though, it reads like something an incompetent Scooby Doo villain would do. I don't really listen to audiobooks, but if I did, and I got one where the person just starts blubbering mid-sentence and sobbing, I'd shut it off, call whoever I bought it from and demand my money back. Sobbing because you're talking about something traumatic is sympathetic in private conversation, or perhaps even during a live speech depending on the circumstances. But a recording? That's just pathetic.
