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.
Getting away withs, getting caughts, and getting wets while trying to dance between the raindrops. Graces, truths, and beauties of brutality. This is fifty years of my sights and seens, felts and figured-outs, cools and shamefuls. 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. 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.” 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. Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. 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. So, on a scale of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days to True Detective I figure Greenlights is a solid Magic Mike - simply structured, a little flashy, but not as insightful as it wants you to think it is.STOP TRYING TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS BY YOURSELF AND BE COACHED TODAY HEREĬHECK OUT THE FOLLOWING Book | Summaries | Course | YouTube | Spotify | Instagram | Facebook | Newsletter | Websiteįrom 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 McConaughey has obviously navigated this successfully, but his wisdom isn’t exactly transferrable. The 'Greenlights' of the title refers to moments when the universe gives us permission to do new things reds and yellows are the things that stand in our way. Be it through memoir or Instapoetry, McConaughey pushes an ethos of learning to take your hands off the wheel. The bad thing, though, is that he obviously wrote it himself and seems certain that in addition to being a memoirist he’s also a certified motivational speaker and, worse, a poet. A great thing about Greenlights is that the persona never sounds like a put-on. The world is on fire, but he has got you he’s our mindful-breathing Brando. McConaughey’s self-effacing slacker-cool attitude, which lets him casually drop a few thousand on the hapless Buffalo Bills in the Super Bowl, has made him an ideal masculine movie hero for our anxious moment.
