Adventures Of An Incurable Optimist- Michael J Fox
Loading...
Uploaded by iamkingofmylife on May 9, 2009
http://www.michaeljfox.org Michael J Fox travels across the globe to explore the enduring strength of hope. He talks to both famous and everyday people.
The whole world, shaken by economic woes, is taking a closer look at optimism. Imagine a country which measures its success with a figure for "Gross National Happiness" instead of Gross National Product. Fox visits the secluded Himalayan nation of Bhutan, a modern day Shangri La that stresses the importance of joy in everything it does. Can happiness actually be legislated? Fox is fascinated by this nation's commitment to the positive well-being of its citizens.
Fox also meets doctors and scientists who share lively insight on the cutting edge science that's helping us better understand the nature of optimism in all of us. He introduces viewers to a variety of people who haven't let difficulties stand in the way of their happiness. Even Fox himself says the past 10 years, dealing with Parkinson's and setting up The Michael J. Fox Foundation, have become among his happiest and his best.
"For everything this disease has taken, something with greater value has been given," Fox says, "So, sure, it may be one step forward and two steps back, but after a time with Parkinson's, I've learned that what is important is making that one step count." - Michael J Fox

Optimism is the attention being in the future. Pessimism means the attention drifts into the past. Primarily. The future of humanity is the developmeng of the central channel....
