![]() ![]() What I did miss from not actually reading the book is the photos he refers to throughout, which are not in the audible version.įor me Greenlights is must read or listen to. ![]() All of these stories are genuine, poignant, sometimes funny, sometimes sad but end with an optimistic ‘greenlight’. ![]() The trips he has taken to discover/rediscover himself. Mystical and spiritual but mostly just wonderful, Greenlights is an inspired. We learn of his marriage and children and friendships which have sustained him. A Renaissance man on the big screen, McConaughey shows he is the same on the page. We listen to him talk about his very lucrative romantic comedy career that he walked away from to many other movie career choices. You could literally here “alright, alright, alright” and even those who are not familiar with him know his name and can likely name the movie, Dazed and Confused. His first movie break and a classic simple phrase which will be repeated by many for decades to come. A troubling year of massive weight loss in Australia. The first part of the book focuses on his childhood with some funny but seriously shocking parenting. 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. We listen to Matthew tell stories from his early days through to today. Academy Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey is a married man, a father of three children, and a loyal son and brother. This book, which I devoured is part memoir, part self-help and lots of ‘notes to self.’ Filled with prescriptions, bumper stickers and poems he has written in journals over the almost 50 years of his life. ![]()
