Michael J. Fox Orden de los libros (cronológico)

Diagnosed at age 29, Fox is engaged in Parkinson's advocacy work, raising global awareness of the disease and helping find a cure through The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, the world's leading non-profit funder of PD science. Here he shares personal stories and observations about illness and health, aging, the strength of family and friends, and how our perceptions about time affect the way we approach mortality. Running through the narrative is the drama of the medical madness Fox recently experienced: the Parkinson's disease he's had since 1991, and a spinal cord issue that necessitated immediate surgery. He describes how his challenge to learn how to walk again, only to suffer a devastating fall, nearly caused him to ditch his trademark optimism. -- adapted from jacket

El mundo conoce a Michael J. Fox como Marty McFly, el compañero adolescente de Doc Brown en Volver al Futuro. En No hay mejor momento que el futuro, Michael comparte historias personales y observaciones sobre la enfermedad y la salud, el envejecimiento, la fortaleza de la familia y los amigos, y cómo nuestras percepciones del tiempo afectan nuestra manera de abordar la mortalidad. Reflexivo y conmovedor, pero con el característico sentido del humor de Fox, su libro ofrece un vehículo para la reflexión sobre nuestras vidas, amores y pérdidas. A lo largo de la narrativa se encuentra el drama de la locura médica que Fox experimentó recientemente, que incluyó sus negociaciones diarias con la enfermedad de Parkinson que padece desde 1991, y un problema en la médula espinal que requirió cirugía inmediata. Su desafío por aprender a caminar de nuevo, solo para sufrir una caída devastadora, casi lo llevó a abandonar su optimismo característico. ¿Logra recuperarse por completo?

Struck with Parkinson's - a debilitating, degenerative disease - at the height of his fame, Fox has taken what some people 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 optimism to spare. With the humour and wit that dazzled fans and reviewers alike in his bestselling memoir, Lucky Man , Fox shows how he became a happier, more satisfied person by recognising the gifts of everyday life.

'The ten years since my diagnosis have been the best ten years of my life and I consider myself a lucky man' - Michael J Fox When Michael J. Fox announced to the world that he had Parkinson's disease, a degenerative neurological condition, he had been secretly fighting it for almost ten years. By the time the public started grieving for him, he had stopped grieving for himself. Far from being bitter about being forced into retirement at the height of his career, he considers himself a lucky man. With the same energy, passion and humour he invests in his performances, Fox recounts the incredible story of his life-changing experiences - and what Parkinson's has given him- the chance to appreciate a wonderful life and career, his family, and the opportunity to help find a cure.
