No Time Like the Future
'The book is great: moving but also properly funny.' Hadley Freeman, The Guardian 'A memoir with an unusual sense of purpose. . . pithy, highly readable' The Times The entire world knows Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly, the teenage sidekick of Doc Brown in Back to the Future.

Lucky Man
In September 1998, Michael J. Fox stunned the world by announcing that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease - in fact, he had been secretly fighting it for seven years. In this candid book, with his trademark ironic sensibility and sense of the absurd, he tells his life story - from his childhood in western Canada to his meteoric rise in film and television and, most importantly, the years in 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 feels as if he is a very lucky man indeed.
A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Future: Twists And Turns And Lessons Learned
In the tradition of TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE and THE LAST LECTURE comes an inspiring book of life lessons from Michael J Fox. Michael J Fox didn't finish high school, but he has gone on to receive honorary degrees from several universities and has achieved the highest accolades for his acting, as well as his writing. In his new book, he inspires and motivates his readers to work hard, achieve the most they can and maximise their abilities – all with his trademark optimism, warmth and humour. From moving to Los Angeles fresh from Canada, without a high school degree and learning to live on a wage to taking on roles in 'Family Ties' and the 'Back to the Future' movies and nearly crashing and burning and then learning to cope first with the death of his father and then with his own diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, MJF shares what he's learned about life, work, love, family and happiness and everything else along the way.
Always Looking Up
'At the turn from our bedroom into the hallway, there is an old full-length mirror in a wooden frame ... This reflected version of myself, shaking, rumpled, pinched and slightly stooped, would be alarming were it not for the self-satisfied expression pasted across my face. I would ask the obvious question, "What are you smiling about?" but I already know the answer: "It just gets better from here."' Struck with Parkinson's - a debilitating, degenerative disease - at the height of his fame, Michael J. Fox has taken what some might consider cause for depression and turned it into a beacon of hope for millions. In Always Looking Up, Michael's Sunday Times bestselling memoir, he writes with warmth, humour and incredible honesty about the journey he has undertaken since he came to terms with his condition.
Counseling Persons with Parkinson's Disease
Counseling Persons with Parkinson's Disease offers a glimpse into life with chronic illness--Parkinson's or otherwise--and it employs a unique approach to counseling those who have it. The author is in a unique position to discuss this because, in addition to receiving his own diagnosis in 2016, he's taught counselors how to engage patients living with chronic illnesses for years. All at once informative, realistic, humorous, and hopeful, this book will guide clinicians who give counsel, educators who teach counseling, people supporting someone else, and anyone living with a chronic illness.
Triumph over Tragedy
Triumph over Tragedy by Jay Fox, a popular entertainer known both in his home, Bermuda, as well as in the USA and internationally, is the personal story of his journey from a beginning as a mixed-blood child of a single mother of limited means in a prejudicial and insular society to a highly popular singer, songwriter, performer, and respected hotel manager. How he handled this challenging double life and how it affected his growing need for meaning in his life leads to a stormy personal situation and his relocation to Crossville, a small town in Tennessee. When all was going well personally, with a family and a horse-training ranch, and professionally, with a busy schedule of performances and an enthusiastic following of loyal fans, tragedy struck when a wasp sting turned into an infectious disease, diagnosed as group-A streptococcal toxic shock syndrome, which cost him his leg and threatened his very life. His faith in God and the support of his family, friends, and fans have led him to a future he could never have anticipated.

Summary of Michael J. Fox's Lucky Man
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had a hangover, and I couldn’t stop shaking my left hand. I was sure it was because of my alcohol consumption the night before, but I didn’t have any symptoms of alcoholic deterioration. #2 I had a theory that the shaking was caused by a drunken slapfight with Woody Harrelson, but I couldn’t remember any such melee. I did, however, remember a moment at the end of the night when my bodyguard had had to prop me up against the door frame while he fumbled the key into the door of my suite. #3 I had no idea that my brain was malfunctioning, and I had no idea that there were problems in the relationship between my brain and my mind. I thought everything was fine, and I was wrong. #4 I am no longer the person described in the first few pages of this chapter. I am forever grateful for that. I would never want to go back to that life, which was a sheltered, narrow existence fueled by fear and self-indulgence.
