Synopsis

From his early days videotaping crazy skateboard stunts to starring in the Jackass movies, there was little that Stephen "Steve-O" Glover wouldn't do.

Whether it was stapling his nutsack to his leg or diving into a pool full of elephant crap, almost nothing was out of bounds. As the stunts got crazier, his life kept pace. He developed a crippling addiction to drugs and alcohol, and an obsession with his own celebrity that proved nearly as dangerous. Only an intervention and a visit to a psychiatric ward saved his life. Today he has been clean and sober for more than three years.
Professional Idiot recounts the lunacy, the debauchery, the stunts, the drug addiction, and the path to recovery with bravado, humor, and heart.
"It's mind-blowing to me how utterly far gone Steve-O was, and how he looks back on it in this book with such intelligence, humor, and searing honesty. What a truly unbelievable life."-- Johnny Knoxville
"A great book to read before you get on the roller coaster to hell, if you plan on surviving to tell about it like Steve-O did."--Nikki Sixx, author of The Heroin Diaries
"This is the perfect book for people who hate reading."--Tommy Lee, author of Tommyland
The feedback I've gotten on Facebook and Twitter from those of you who've read this book has been fascinating, heartwarming, and hilarious. I'm happy to keep answering your questions on there, and I encourage more of you to join in the discussion. Hope to hear from you soon, and thank you all so much.
Love,Steve-O

Let me preface this by saying I came into this book skeptical. I've developed a fondness for memoirs in the last few years but none of them have really moved me or blown me away save the small handful. Let me also preface this by saying I'm a huge Jackass fan and have been rooting for Steve-O ever s......more

Goodreads review by Jordan on July 03, 2011

What should you expect when you watch the movie Jackass or read the title of this book? Well, I got what I expected with a unfiltered chronicle of his crazed lifestyle of sex, and drugs, but I also got to know him as a person in recovery. Steve-0 A.K.A Stephen Glover went from being unemployed, penn......more
