No Time Like the Future An Optimist Considers Mortality

As a chronically ill and disabled person, and as a fan, I am so disappointed. There's just so much complaining—an entire chapter devoted to his love/hate relationship with golf, plus more wry grousing about it elsewhere, complaining about things in his movies (cool scene but they unfortunately used “Walking On Sunshine”), complaining about being sick to the nth degree, and more. There's discussing your negative feelings about your symptoms, and about the before and after of being disabled, and then there is complaining.

Five chapters in, and kinda getting the impression that Michael thinks he and his people are awesome, and everything and everyone else needs some work. I didn't want to know that.

I wish I could give it more, but it just simply didn't leave me with anything (maybe except for one of the last points in the book where he talks about his career that has ended or the family house they sold, that they don't owe him anything. They have offered more that he could've asked for and that chapter is now over and you just have to be grateful and accept it).
He has had some of the best first 30 years of anyone's life, followed by some of the worst 30 years, he's managed to keep his wits and sense of humour and he's been blessed by having such a loving and supportive family.
I've enjoyed his acting in The Good Wife most of all, he's simply phenomenal there, but at the same time he remains one of the main characters ever played in time traveling movies.
I wish I would have some remarkable insight after reading the book, but I realise now that maybe that's what's remarkable about his memoir and his life: he's managed to find some sort of happiness in the little things, in all the things most of us take for granted. Too bad it was a disease like this that taught him this lesson.

With everything 2020 has dished out ... uncertainty, chaos, sickness, pain, devastation ... there's no better way to finish off my reading year than with Michael J. Fox.

With all that life has thrown his way, he STILL manages to stay positive, find the silver lining and keep a sense of humor about him. I grew up watching him (Family Ties) and have always loved him ... I mean come on Back to the Future!!! Nerd alert
