Fox. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe entire world knows Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly, the teenage sidekick of Doc Brown in \u003ci\u003eBack to the Future\u003c\/i\u003e; as Alex P.

Diagnosed at age 29, Michael is equally engaged in Parkinson's advocacy work, raising global awareness of the disease and helping find a cure through The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, the world's leading non-profit funder of PD science.

His new memoir reassesses this outlook, as events in the past decade presented additional challenges. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eNo Time Like the Future: An Optimist Considers Mortality, \u003c\/i\u003eMichael shares personal stories and observations about illness and health, aging, the strength of family and friends, and how our perceptions about time affect the way we approach mortality. Thoughtful and moving, but with Fox's trademark sense of humor, his book provides a vehicle for reflection about our lives, our loves, and our losses. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRunning through the narrative is the drama of the medical madness Fox recently experienced, that included his daily negotiations with the Parkinson's disease he's had since 1991, and a spinal cord issue that necessitated immediate surgery. His challenge to learn how to walk again, only to suffer a devastating fall, nearly caused him to ditch his trademark optimism and \"get out of the lemonade business altogether.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDoes he make it all of the way back?
