In 2001, Michal Slezák left the Czech Republic to work in America. He became a lift operator in Sun Valley, Idaho, a playground of the rich and famous. The celebrities he encountered on the job included Arnold Schwarzenegger, whom he described as a total dick. He later became a snowboard instructor there and in Australia before returning home to get married and settle down. He had a beautiful family, home, great circle of friends and career he loved. Then in 2019, when he was forty-two years old, he was diagnosed with ALS, commonly known in the U.S. as Lou Gehrig's disease. Like Gehrig, he felt lucky for the life given to him and set out to find the cause and cure for the elusive, fatal illness. From trauma onions and quantum meditation to the pyramids of Bosnia, this is his story.
