Description

Number-one New York Times Best Seller • Discover the life-changing memoir that has inspired millions of readers through the Academy Award®-winning actor’s unflinching honesty, unconventional wisdom, and lessons learned the hard way about living with greater satisfaction.

Named One of the Best Books of the Year by The Guardian

“McConaughey’s book invites us to grapple with the lessons of his life as he did - and to see that the point was never to win, but to understand.” (Mark Manson, author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck)

I’ve been in this life for 50 years, been trying to work out its riddle for 42, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last 35. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me.

Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries. I found stories I experienced, lessons I learned and forgot, poems, prayers, prescriptions, beliefs about what matters, some great photographs, and a whole bunch of bumper stickers. I found a reliable theme, an approach to living that gave me more satisfaction, at the time, and still: If you know how, and when, to deal with life’s challenges - how to get relative with the inevitable - you can enjoy a state of success I call “catching greenlights.”

So I took a one-way ticket to the desert and wrote this book: an album, a record, a story of my life so far. This is fifty years of my sights and seens, felts and figured-outs, cools and shamefuls. Graces, truths, and beauties of brutality. Getting away withs, getting caughts, and getting wets while trying to dance between the raindrops.

Hopefully, it’s medicine that tastes good, a couple of aspirin instead of the infirmary, a spaceship to Mars without needing your pilot’s license, going to church without having to be born again, and laughing through the tears.

It’s a love letter. To life.

It’s also a guide to catching more greenlights - and to realizing that the yellows and reds eventually turn green, too.

Good luck.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Matthew McConaughey’s book is exactly what we needed after the frenzy of Campaign 2020. . . . [A] much-needed breather . . . [and] a recuperative journey . . . it is both calming and laugh, laugh, laugh-out-loud funny.” Hugh Hewitt, The Washington Post

“A delightful surprise, full of stories that [haven’t] been shared on late night talk shows or made headlines over the years. It’s a wild ride to be sure, but if you enjoy McConaughey and all of the eccentricities and contradictions that come with him, it’s one you won’t want to miss.” Texas Monthly 

“A brilliant memoir . . . [Greenlights] is unmistakeably ‘a book that only Matthew McConaughey could have written.’ This is a good thing.” The Times Magazine (UK)

I can’t say enough good things about this book!

I’m so happy I decided to listen to this book rather than reading it. Listening to Matthew speak about his life was such a gift. I laughed, I was sad, I had chills even goosebumps at some points in the book. The world needs more men like Matthew. The way he spoke about his wife especially love love love!!!

Excellent book

I enjoyed so much listening to Matthew narrating his book.
It is funny , relaxing and also lots to learn from.
I first bought a hard copy book and am looking forward to reading it as well.

But when I realized there is an audiobook available narrated by Mathew McConaughey himself, I just couldn’t not to listen to it.
And I loved all the accents he used!!!
Thank you Matthew for the joy you brought me in these unusual times.

A Great Extroverts story on how to keep on living

Moving forward is the key in McConaugheys story Greenlights. While story is somewhat simple- of Family and Fame; his "prescriptions", notes to self and "bumber stickers", are often grabbing and live with depth and an encouragement to solve your riddles, be your best self and never half ass it. Alright, alright, alright McConaughey.

Truly wonderful read

I have been a fan of Matthew McConaughey so I heard his say his trade mark lines “ Alright Alright Alright!! Is Dazed and Confused. There has not been a film I have not enjoyed.

I find him to be a real prophet kind of man, he’s so down to earth. I could listen to him talk for hours.
This book is truly inspiring, and in someways, truly eye opening.

This book will not disappoint, I think it would definitely be a “ Greenlight” read but way better to listen too. Thank you Matthew for sharing your life with us.

Thank goodness for the audiobook

I was really looking forward to this book as it was recommended. If it wasn’t in audio where MR. McConaughey does a great job in story telling I would have put it away first chapter in. It’s so boring. Not for me. Wasted time and money. Red light
