No one was as addicted to fame like Stephen "Steve-O" Glover. From his early days videotaping crazy skateboard stunts to starring in the blockbuster JACKASS franchise, there's nothing Steve-O wouldn't do to get attention. While the stunts got crazier (jumping into a lion enclosure; stapling his scrotum to his leg; or diving into a pool of elephant crap) the fame grew - but so did a ravaging drug addiction. Eventually, Steve withdrew into isolation where he snorted cocaine and huffed Nitrous Oxide around the clock - with short ventures out scouring the streets of L.A. for paparazzi in hopes of having his antics taped for television. It all came crashing down in 2008 with a coke arrest, rehab and a stint in a psychiatric ward. Now, more than two years into sobriety, Steve-O is happy and healthy and grateful for the amazing life he has led. He is also ready to share his story. In the tradition of such bestsellers as TOO FAT TO FISH by Artie Lange and THE HEROIN DIARIES by Nikki Sixx, PROFESSIONAL IDIOT is hilarious, harrowing and inspiring all at once and is sure to resonate with a sizable and grateful audience.
