Summary
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.

Abridged version didn't do justice to his story
Not well abridged, he seemed a little arrogant without much of the intriguing background. A shame.

Inspirational
Nice audible purchase which I recommend .
It does seem that there may be bits missing somehow.
I miss the spin city series.
Feel sorry for Michael as he seems like a very nice guy from the good days of Hollywood which are no more.
Hope things are more manageable than expected for him and wish him well😼

Lucky Man
Interesting read that gives background leading up to his diagnosis of PD and how it has impacted his life.
Overall interesting read hopefully there will be a cure for PD in the near future
