Incurable Optimists

This book, ‘Incurable Optimists’, may be the only book that will tell you what it is actually like to live with Parkinson’s disease.


Written by people whose lives have been impacted by Parkinson’s, these true tales are valuable examples of how one can live one’s best possible life with this difficult condition. The tales are from those newly diagnosed and from others who have lived with Parkinson’s for more than thirty years.


Michael McDonald, whose working life had been helping large companies solve complex problems, recognised the pressing need for this book during Zoom sessions with the Parkinson’s group in Canterbury, UK.

The members of the group had all met previously at various therapy sessions, but they had never told their stories to each other or shared their personal challenges and solutions. As soon as they did, and word got around, many other helpful tales began arriving from all over the world.
