Publisher's Summary
Combining his trademark ironic sensibility and keen sense of the absurd, he recounts his life, from his childhood in a small town in western Canada to his meteoric rise in film and television, which made him a worldwide celebrity. Most importantly, however, he writes of the last 10 years, during which, with the unswerving support of his wife, family, and friends, he has dealt with his illness. He talks about what Parkinson's has given him: the chance to appreciate a wonderful life and career, and the opportunity to help search for a cure and spread public awareness of the disease. He is a very lucky man, indeed.

Loved it.
Highly Recommended. An open, honest retelling of his journey from pre-diagnosis through to public advocate for PD. He covers the balancing of disease, coping, working and family. I just wish it wasn't an abridged version!

To the FUTURE
Hearing directly from the man himself, Michael J Fox, what a superb way to hear and grow in my understanding of PD (Parkinsons Disease).
By all means, go on the journey with Michael as he outlines the effort he put into his fabulous career, for the viewing public, and touches on many cinematic creations he helped us enjoy, then join him again in the efforts he is still putting in towards the chance of a 'normal ' life through his foundation.
I'm on your team, Michael 👍👍👍👍

Wonderfully Insightful
Being Canadian isn't a prerequisite for loving MJF or having an interest in his story. Lucky Man is a great read about living large, taking risks and taking stock. Also a nice reminder to live with gratitude.
Mike Fox lays bare his journey from denial to PD advocate with many funny stories in between.

Michael J Fox is humbled & transformed by PD

This journey is not over and so good to hear his life in his words.
No performance No story just the reality of PD. The struggle for early onsets… MJF… stepping up to the plate to educate, advocate and fight for cure. What a Legend as is every single human living daily with this terrible disease. Loved his voice, his humour and his humanity ❤️🌈
