From the Academy Award®-winning actor, an unconventional memoir filled with raucous stories, outlaw wisdom, and lessons learned the hard way about living with greater satisfaction.
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 realising that the yellows and reds eventually turn green too.
Good luck.
Academy Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey is a married man, a father of three children, and a loyal son and brother. He considers himself a storyteller by occupation, believes it's okay to have a beer on the way to the temple, feels better with a day's sweat on him, and is an aspiring orchestral conductor.
In 2009, Matthew and his wife, Camila, founded the just keep livin Foundation, which helps at-risk high school students make healthier mind, body, and spirit choices. In 2019, McConaughey became a professor of practice at the University of Texas at Austin, as well as Minister of Culture/M.O.C. for the University of Texas and the City of Austin. McConaughey is also brand ambassador for Lincoln Motor Company, an owner of the Major League Soccer club Austin FC, and co-creator of his favorite bourbon on the planet, Wild Turkey Longbranch.
How different the lives we lived. I don't really envy the name and fame of a movie star like Matthew but how I envy he truly understands what's the most important things in life to himself and willing to get there with confidence and courage.
評分讀得最快的一本自傳,配閤著朗讀版,雖然後麵部分加瞭倍速聽,但一點點沒影響馬修聲音的魅力,他根本就是在繪聲繪色地念颱詞啊,天哪太贊瞭。沒想到是一本爽的自傳故事書!絕對值得讀,一定要配閤audio,增色不少。
評分如果不是作者自己朗讀,這本書光看字,某些篇章挺無聊的。離shirtless on beach或者exotic adventure from wet dreams的生活畢竟太遠瞭。Born a Texan, always one. 有些片段有佳句(good from afar and far from good). Bumper Stickers太多啦。作者的生活態度就是全力以赴而且對一切都覺得took it for granted 。大概來自於他爹:to win it is better than to afford it 。McConaissance是他自己吹牛放的風哈哈哈。
評分Genuine personal stories unexpectedly lead to a deep faith proclaiming. Wise and touchy-feely. Mathew’s own vocal performance must be better than text only. I enjoyed it a lot. Thanks to Audible.
評分斷斷續續聽完的Audible,他的語速真的很快,頭一次需要把倍速調到0.9。本來以為這本自傳會集中講訴他轉型的故事,然而真探和達拉斯買傢俱樂部都隻是最後一章的點綴,真正的故事是聚焦於他的一生。活得真通透。有幾個特彆好笑的地方,在澳大利亞那一段我真的是笑得停不下來。
