Alex P. Keaton. Mike Flaherty. Marty McFly. You may enjoy a wave of nostalgia thinking of actor Michael J. Fox’s best-known roles, but he has much more to offer. In Always Looking Up: The Adventures of an Incurable Optimist, Fox writes about the choices, challenges, and philosophies that have been a part of his ongoing battle with Parkinson’s disease. He doesn’t sugarcoat his trials, but this is no pity party. With both charm and passion, Fox narrates a recording that would go on to win a 2010 Grammy for Best Spoken Word Album. Not only is this a moving tribute to a remarkable individual, it is a challenge to all of us to recognize the gifts of everyday life.
