Always Looking Up

Having found his own optimism Michael J. Fox takes us on his search for the sources of hope.

There are many words to describe Michael J. Fox: Star. Husband. Father. Activist. But one word encapsulates everything he stands for, everything he's accomplished: Optimist. Struck with Parkinson's--a debilitating, degenerative disease--at the height of his fame, Fox has taken what some might consider cause for depression and turned it into a beacon of hope for millions. Now, in Always Looking Up, he writes about the personal philosophy that carried him through his darkest hours, and speaks with others who have emerged from difficult periods with optimisms to spare. With the humor and wit that dazzled fans and reviewers in his bestselling memoir, Lucky Man, Fox shows how he became a happier, more satisfied person by recognizing the gifts of everyday life.

"A lucid and intelligent book, full of ironic humor and unquenchable optimism."
