À propos de cet audio
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.

By the time Shania Twain was two, her parents had divorced, and by early childhood, her family of seven was often without food, at times living in a filthy one-bedroom apartment. But when her mother and stepfather were tragically killed in an automobile accident when she was 22, Shania knew that the only way to lift her family out of poverty was to use her God-given singing talent. At an age when most young people have only themselves to think about, Shania moved her entire family to a nearby resort where she began performing, supporting her younger brothers and sisters.

Histoire
Welcome to the summer of 1985 in Philadelphia, when the city was rocked—in almost every sense of the word—by two unprecedented events: Mayor W. Wilson Goode’s May 13 decision to bomb the headquarters of MOVE, a controversial Philadelphia-based radical communal organization, and the July 13 Live Aid concert, where international rock royalty convened in Philly to raise money for victims of the Ethiopian famine. Separated by just two months and eight miles, these events would showcase both the best and the worst of the so-called City of Brotherly Love.

Lucky Man
This was a well written easy to listen factual story of a persons life. Yes, he is a celebrity, but in life he is real person, too. The events of his life and the way he describes it, was very touching and moving to any individual who is suffering from this disease. He shows gratefulness and such down to earth qualities of an amazing person in life. Even though he has this horrible disease, he rises above it and gives credit to his wife and family. It’s an amazing book.

Amazing Account of the Unthinkable
Michael J. Fox gives a compelling and honest account of his diagnosis. He tells of his denial of the diagnosis and how he fought his demons.
This is an incredible story from despair of the diagnosis to the fight to bring awareness of Parkinson’s and raising money for research.
A wonderful read and compelling account. I definitely recommend this book.
