A young man with a highly paid career mixing with the super rich and world famous falls victim to Social Phobia. As a result he is reduced to begging on the London streets with only his dog for company. He relates all the medical treatments he endured and the fellow sufferers he met. After a lifetime living in isolation controlled by fear he found a cure that worked for him.

This moving and courageous book will result in all phobias being viewed in a totally new way and with more compassion and understanding. It will also give sufferers the world over new hope and the will to go on. A true story much stranger than any fiction.

'This strange book is truly one of a kind. I don’t have any particular interest in phobias yet I found it a spellbinding read. The guys (Hopeless because of his Social Phobia) love affair with the American girl is the most moving and romantic I’ve ever read. He found a cure in the end but to think of all those years hiding from the world in his lonely room suffering poverty and illness too scared to go out is tragic beyond words. I’ll never think about Phobia’s in the same way again, a brilliant book'.
