'At the turn from my bedroom into the hallway leading to the
kitchen there is an old full-length mirror in a wooden frame. I
can't help but catch a glimpse of myself as I pass, and turning
myself towards the glass, I consider what I see. This reflected
version of myself, wet, shaking, rumpled, slightly stooped, and
pinched, would be alarming if it were not for the self-satisfied
expression pasted across the 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,
Fox has taken what some people might consider cause for depression
and turned it into a beacon of hope for millions. Now, in Always
Looking Up, he writes about the personal philosophy that carried
him through his darkest hours, and speaks with others who have
emerged from difficult periods with optimism to spare. With the
humour and wit that dazzled fans and reviewers alike in his
bestselling memoir, Lucky Man, Fox shows how he became a happier,
more satisfied person by recognising the gifts of everyday
life.
