Book - Always Looking Up: Adventures of an Incurable Optimist by Michael J. Fox

Hardback, 2009. Excellent pre-owned condition. Very slight scuffing on the dust cover and a couple of dog-ears, but overall clean and intact. "Actor. Husband. Father. Activist. Optimist. Michael J. Fox writes about the hard-won perspective that helped him see challenges as opportunities. Instead of building walls around himself, he developed a personal policy of engagement and discovery: an emotional, psychological, intellectual, and spiritual outlook that has served him throughout his struggle with Parkinson's disease. Michael's exit from the very demanding public arena offered him the time and inspiration to open up new doors leading to unexpected places. One door even led him to the center of his own family--for him, the greatest destination of all." This guy is so amazing to me. Just a caring, genuine, smart, funny human being who keeps getting up every morning and fighting the fight--not only for himself but for all people's rights. I enjoy reading his memoirs (this is one of four that he's written so far) and I hope you will too. 💖 (The weird photo effect on the Epilogue page is just an annoying moire effect, either from the processing or the browser; I tried fiddling with ppi and image settings but I couldn't get rid of it. Anyway, the photo itself in the actual book looks fine, like a normal black-and-white photo.)
