Product Description
There are many words to clarify Michael J. Fox: Actor. Spouse. Father. Liberal. But readers of Permanently Looking Up will soon add another to the list: Optimist. Michael writes about the hard-won perspective that helped him see challenges as opportunities. As a replacement for 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 a very demanding, very public arena offered him the time-and the inspiration-to open up new doors leading to unexpected places. One door even led him to the center of his own family tree, the greatest destination of all.
The last ten years, which is really the stuff of this book, started with such a loss: my retirement from Spin City. I establish myself struggling with a weird new dynamic: the shifting of public and private personas. I had been Mike the actor, then Mike the actor with PD. Now was I just Mike with PD? Parkinson’s had consumed my career and, in a sense, had become my career. But where did all of this place Me? I had to erect a new life when I was already pretty pleased with the ancient one..
Permanently Looking Up is a memoir of this last decade, told through the critical themes of Michael’s life: work, politics, faith, and family tree. The book is a journey of self-discovery and reinvention, and a tribute to the consolations that protect him from the ravages of Parkinson’s.
With the humor and wit that captivated fans of his first book, Lucky Man, Michael describes how he became a more pleased, more satisfied person by recognizing the gifts of everyday life.

Michael J. Fox does ill to Parkinson’s patients and others by repeating the lies that extoll the prospect of embryonic stem cell research, which has flopped dismally so far. On the additional hand, adult stem cells and cord blood stem cells have been used successfully for years. He should finally wise up and admit the truth.

I never received my book on optimism, nor any answer after trying to contact 4 times, nor a refund. I obviously would NOT recommend.

Sorry to say I have no review since you can’t review something you never received. I wrote to find out what happened and never received a answer from the supplier. I probably will not order again.

I never received the book and the seller said it wasn’t returned to him. Postman could give me no information. I will not buy from that seller again as I do not judge it was not returned.

after listening to 3 of the 5 cd’s, I kept waiting to hear some encouraging thoughts………… alot of unnessary “s ” that he talks about, that the reader doesn’t need to know. It’s supposed to be an “uplifting” book!I finally had enough and sold it to a bookstore that buys books-cd’s-records.
