Interesting too how much the kindness of others -strangers even- helps him. And, of course, he gets to visit the doctor. "Self-made"? Not a bit of it.
"Black says it was still a successful experiment after demonstrating how it was possible to rebuild his life through the power of determination"
... and help from kind people, medical services, and a big hat-tip to previously acquired skills and experience. -The latter are not normally part of the toolbox many others bring to the 'having nothing' experience.
He was very lucky someone gifted him somewhere to sleep early on. Probably his ability to present as a believably otherwise wealthy guy temporarily impecunious was a big factor in that. Again, not transferable. -

"De-anonymising data is surprisingly easy: if you know Tony Blair’s date of birth (a matter of public record) and the two dates during his term in office in which he was treated for a heart condition (ditto), you can pick him out of any “anonymised” pool of NHS data in seconds, and then discover all those facts about his health that aren’t a matter of public record... Dr Ben Goldacre and his team at Oxford created OpenSAFELY, a “Trusted Research Environment” that allows researchers to write programs that analyse NHS data in situ. These programs would be dispatched to run against the data held by NHS trusts, and then the system would return the results to the researchers without ever letting them handle the data – which never left the trusts’ own servers."
