#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • MORE THAN FOUR MILLION COPIES SOLD! 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.

“The No. 1 celebrity memoir of the past 10 years.”—USA Today

“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 fifty years, been trying to work out its riddle for forty-two, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last thirty-five. 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.

This is one of those books that’ll just change the way you look at everything in your life. It’s motivating, yet also comforting in the sense that it isn’t preaching to you any paths to success.

McConaughey’s got to be one of the most naturally talented and most poetic story tellers of our time and it’s an absolute joy to read his memoir. 10/10

How did the book make me feel/think?

I watched my father die the day after I turned 25. I watched my mother die less than 2 years later. I am a provincial + national champion quarterback (I'm blind in one eye) in football, + I threw the longest touchdown pass in Canadian Junior Football History. I’ve travelled to 17 countries. I have played 2-on-2 basketball with David Duchovny—and beat him. I’ve had breakfast with Michael Chiklis. I brushed past the Dali Lama. I crashed a motorcycle in Jamaica wearing only shorts and flip flops—my first time riding a motorbike. I tried to buy a hotel in Jamaica that led me to Panama during a military coup—something to do with Noriega. Sixteen years after my mother died, I discovered she wasn’t my birth mother, and everything familial in my life had been a lie. This moment trapped me, and I started living it over and over and over and over again. In 2016, I met my birth mother for the first time alongside her deathbed—saying goodbye—adding to my baggage.

I have a wonderful life. A challenging life. A fascinating life. I have a lot of life left.

In Greenlights, McConaughey, with breathtaking honesty, humour, and subtle, deft wisdom, shares his life’s journey. Instilling in each of us the importance of cherishing moments, placing them in the right compartments, and then moving forward to give yourself and those you love the fullest, most vibrant life experiences. Love is paramount. It’s okay to move past the moments you keep living over and over and over and over again. It is a must that you do.

Thank You, Matthew, for sharing your journey.

Not intended for me, maybe suitable for a certain audience(s). Although I do like him more after reading this, I'll probably watch the rest of his movies.

I listened to the audiobook while reading along and it is one of the best I’ve listened to. He really put his heart and soul into it. He used different accents for many of the people in the book and made it come alive. It was heartwarming and hilarious. Highly recommend it!
