A Beautiful Mind

Posted by Greg on May 15, 2002:
For anyone suffering from homophobic OCD, I'd recommend reading the book "A Beautiful Mind" by Sylvia Nasar. It's the book the movie is based upon.
She spends a noticeable amount of time chronicling and implying that John Nash has had a homosexual component to his lifestyle.
It would be just the right kind of exposure for someone who is just beginning those kinds of exercises. And no one would know you were reading a "gay" book.
It's not all about Nash being bisexual, if he is. I believe that some of the manifestations of schizophrenia are in ways similar to OCD, so it's somewhat relative from that standpoint.
And it's just a pretty good book. You realize things could be a lot worse, if nothing else.
Anyway, just a thought. Hope everyone is well.
