Okemos, MI (PRWEB) May 9, 2009 -- Catch the emotional impact and inspiration that watching Michael J. Fox's special on optimism around the world had on Moment-to-Moment focus group viewers. Dr. Russ Buss and talk show host Jackie Monroe gathered four individuals of diverse ages and backgrounds to sit on a comfortable black leather sofa and view "The Adventures of an Incurable Optimist," starring Michael, at 10 pm EST May 7.
During each commercial break, Jackie posed stimulus questions and gathered viewer reactions to the segment just seen. At the end they summarized the impact the show had on their views of optimism.
Since April 6, Dr. Russ Buss and the staff of the Moment-to-Moment Optimism have been devoting everyday to posts that expound on the words of Michael J. Fox. The theme for the month has been Rebirth and Self-Reinvention. The culminating event to the month long focus on Michael J. Fox was the video shoot of Jackie Monroe interviewing a diverse group of Dr. Russ Buss's followers as they watched the special.
While crafting the blogs, Dr. Russ Buss found himself inspired by the writing of Michael J. Fox. Not surprisingly, however, seeing the special and watching people's live reactions brought out an emotional element that was far more inspirational than could ever be conveyed in print alone.
Here are several inspirational moments of optimism taken from viewers' comments:
| | - Let the challenge define us rather than the outcome.
- It's how you view things that don't go right in your life.
- I'm more optimistic when I have loving, caring people around me.
- It's about progress, not perfection.
- Doing the right thing instead of getting it right.
- Choose an optimistic attitude and the feelings follow.
