Summary

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.

Great

Great book tells the story of a great man his troubles, journeys and how to stay positive. A book that I couldn't stop listening to.

Disappointing

I hadn't read Michael Fox's first book but I hope it had a bit more substance than his second. There are, as you usually find in these autobiographical pieces, several 'celeb' names dropped in in an effort to beef it up. But in general I found it very mundane and not as interesting as I would have hoped. Maybe it doesn't translate well as an audio book and would be better in print.
