Numb the book by Danny Scott
Real, raw and radical - shocking and disturbing, yet humorous, charming and beautifully endearing. A story of tragedy, torment and trauma - desperation, darkness and delirium, infused with healing , happiness and hope.
NUMB tells the powerful story of transformation from abandonment and institutional trauma to international success, structured as both compelling narrative and practical resource for others facing similar challenges.
Part One chronicles Danny’s abandonment on a London street at 15 months, life in children's homes and foster care, and the brutal boarding school experiences of the 1970s that led to near-suicide.
Part Two provides retrospective insights, exploring his later life through a paradoxical blend of hurt and healing, fear and freedom.
Part Three serves as both goldmine and arsenal, to help us navigate our way through the relentless, savage complexities of life and the paradoxical reality of being overwhelmed with feeling – yet totally numb.
