Michael J. Fox has always been one of my favorite actors ever since Back to the Future. When I heard he was going to be releasing a new book, I immediately place it on my “To Read” list. Always Looking Up: Adventures of an Incurable Optimist is the story of a man faced with incredible obstacles who manages to always find the positive side.

The book is divided into four parts: Work,Politics, Faith, and Family. In each part, he discusses how being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease has shaped that particular aspect of his life. Through the years, he has had some rough patches. As he processes through the situation and grows, he becomes a stronger more positive person.

Written in a conversational tone, the book is a quick read that is upbeat and uplifting. I have recommended Always Looking Up to people who are
looking for something positive to read in this age of “bad” news from our media outlets.
