Beschreibung
Abandoned at just 15 months on a London street, Danny Scott's life began with harsh rejection - and the years that followed only deepened it - echoing throughout his life.
Children's homes. Foster care. The savage brutality of a 1970s boarding school that pushed him to the edge of suicide. Expelled at 16, barely literate, his future looked non-existent - permanently extinguished before it ever had a chance to ignite.

Yet it wasn't.

Decades later, Danny has built an international career spanning 40 countries - from corporate boardrooms to prison cells, prestigious universities to youth detention centres, stages and performing arts academies to psychiatric wards. But the question remains: How does someone transform the scarred anguish of abandonment and abuse into genuine, sustained meaning and purpose?

NUMB - The Edge of Feeling answers that question through visceral storytelling, hard-won wisdom, cathartic reflection, and joyful humour. Part memoir, part survival manual, it chronicles the brutal reality of institutional trauma before offering something extremely valuable - practical tools for anyone navigating their own darkness toward light.
For the 1-in-3 who've walked this road themselves, and the 1-in-2 who know someone that has, this is a celebration, a testimony to the possibility of radical transformation, and a roadmap for those still finding their way...
