Fanatic explores the concept of fanaticism, the psychological drivers of fanatics, and the commonalities across their experiences. Capturing the stories of those who consider fanaticism as core to their self-concept and interviewing experts in clinical and sport psychology, Joe Ungemah identifies core motivations across the social, physical, cognitive, and emotive domains. Exploring these, Ungemah demystifies the concept of fanaticism and recognizes its benefits. He argues that we all have the potential to become fanatics, and that fanaticism should be embraced for the sense of purpose and identity that it can foster and the opportunity for connection it can provide.
Clyde Mulgerhof wants nothing more than to live quietly on his old fishing boat at his dock in Bell Island harbor, digging clams and drinking to forget. But when his boat sinks, Clyde's life is thrown into turmoil. Finding himself homeless and broke - again - Clyde sets a wavering course to pull himself together. Aided by his best friend Donny Pavolini, Clyde navigates the oddball characters and pitfalls of a booze-soaked Bell Island summer, including a corrupt Harbor Master, an incident involving politicians, strippers and water balloons, and a long, strange trip to the Mainland. When Clyde's friend Norm Kelly offers him lodgings in the loft above his garage, Clyde soon finds himself trying - and failing - to avoid the amorous advances of both Norm's daughter Sara and his estranged wife Maureen. By Labor Day, Clyde's voyage has left him hard aground, until an unexpected rescue turns Clyde into a reluctant hero.
