SynopsisA personal and hilarious gift for graduates. Michael J. Fox abandoned high school to pursue an acting career, but went on to receive honorary degrees from several universities and garner the highest accolades for his acting, as well as for his writing. In his new book, he inspires and motivates graduates to recognize opportunities, maximize their abilities, and roll with the punches--all with his trademark optimism, warmth, and humor. In A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Future , Michael draws on his own life experiences to make a case that real learning happens when "life goes skidding sideways." He writes of coming to Los Angeles from Canada at age eighteen and attempting to make his way as an actor. Fox offers up a comically skewed take on how, in his own way, he fulfilled the requirements of a college syllabus. He learned Economics as a starving artist; an unexpected turn as a neophyte activist schooled him in Political Science; and his approach to Comparative Literature involved stacking books up against their movie versions., Michael J.

Michael J Fox has something to say and it says it well. I enjoyed his book so much I purchased two copies. One I will keep in my library to share with guests and the other I will give to my grandson as a high school graduation present. I think this book will speak to him to look for his own path in this life no matter where it leads. We only have this one life, or at least we are supposed to think that, and it is up to us to do what we will to make it as satisfying to us as possible. His true triumph in life is how Parkinson's Disease gave him a purpose at a time when he probably needed it. MIchael now entertains us with his unique humor, and he focuses us on what is really important.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
