Sinossi
Il mondo intero conosce Michael J. Fox per i suoi famosi ruoli cinematografici e televisivi, dal Marty McFly della saga di Ritorno al futuro, all’Alex Keaton di Casa Keaton, al Mike Flaherty di Spin City. Forse, però, il ruolo più difficile da interpretare gliel’ha dato la vita, quando non ancora trentenne gli è stata diagnosticata la malattia di Parkinson. Senza tradire il suo stile diretto e ironico, che ne ha fatto uno degli attori più amati, ha continuato a recitare e allo stesso tempo si è impegnato in prima persona per aumentare la consapevolezza globale della malattia che l’ha colpito e finanziare la ricerca scientifica. Nonostante il futuro avesse in serbo per lui altre sfide dolorose – un’altra diagnosi medica minacciosa, seguita da un intervento e da una lunga riabilitazione –, non ha mai perso l’ottimismo e la determinazione, e anzi ne ha tratto il materiale per questo suo nuovo libro.
Il risultato è un’appassionante raccolta di storie personali e osservazioni sulla malattia e la salute, sulla forza della famiglia e degli amici e su come la nostra percezione del tempo influenzi le nostre vite. Personale, commovente e ricco del tipico senso dell'umorismo del suo autore, Il futuro è stato bellissimo ci offre un’affascinante riflessione sulla vita, sulla speranza e sul potere dell’amicizia e dell’amore, con l’invito a guardare al futuro con gioia e gratitudine.

“With gratitude, optimism becomes sustainable.” Michael J Fox is the personification of The Giving Tree. Life just keeps taking . . . and taking . . . and taking from him, and all he does is GIVE, GIVE, GIVE! And, through it all, he stays positive! If anyone has the right to be ticked off about life Leggi tutto
I loved this. It has been ten years since I read Always Looking Up . My Dad gifted me that one and he gifted me this too. It was just the kind of book I needed to read. I started reading it the day of my uncle’s funeral. “Through my example of living with adversity, I was able to positively affect som Leggi tutto
Michael J Fox tells a compelling story of how it’s possible to maintain optimism in the face of certainty that there is always adversity to come. This book is well-written, paced like a Harlan Coben suspense novel, and even though I already knew most of the story, it was full of surprises. As a perso Leggi tutto
What child born in the 80’s doesn’t adore Marty McFly? 🤷🏼♀️ I listened to this one and loved hearing his voice telling his own story. ❤️ What a strong and inspiring story. 👍
How can someone not enjoy a book written by Michael J. Fox? Guy spews positivity in every sentence despite all of his health struggles. I learned a lot about his mental state and Parkinson's. I'm feeling smarter and in better spirits. The audiobook is narrated by him, which is both a blessing and a

I have enjoyed Michael J. Fox's work on the silver screen and television. I had presuppositions about what kind of person he is based on the roles he had. I was misguided, which is a testament to the quality of his skill as an actor. Michael's talents go beyond acting. Writing is also an ability he
