Product Information

true detective با یه سیگار روشن لای انگشتاش و یه شیشه آبجو روبه روش، داشت برات از تجربه های زندگیش، از شکست ها و موفقیت هاش میگفت...با همون صدا و لحن خاص و دوست داشتنی خودش... One negative reviewer I read complained that this was “self centered” … well yeah, it’s a memoir. If you like McConaughey, you will likely find this to be an enjoyable book; he comes across as a vibrant, charismatic man who loves life. Three things that will give you clarity, remind you of your mortality, and give you courage to live harder, stronger and truer.

His twenties and thirties were contradictory decades, years when he eliminated conditions and truths that went against his grain.

Written with great intensity and rare candor, Greenlights is a whirlwind of wisdom that's as singular and fervent as its author. Read the book, experience the behind-the-scenes adventures, then pursue your own greenlights full throttle. I like to find out about an author to better understand their perspective. Turns out I am about a month older than McConaughey, we were both raised in the south (him in Texas, me in Tennessee) and we both liked watching the Incredible Hulk in the 70s starring Lou Ferrigno. Our high school experiences were similar, hell, my best friend in HS could have been Matthew. Ahhhhhh...I am totally listening to Matthew McConaughey! ❤️ Holy crap! So there is something to be said for a memoir where the author reads you their story. You all know the voice...but do you know the story?His forties were an affirming decade where he started to play offense with truths he had learned and put them into action. An era where he doubled-down on what fed him. I hope to give my children an opportunity to find what they love to do, work to be great at it, pursue it, and do it. Part memoir, part guide to life, part collection of extracts from diaries the actor has been keeping for decades, Greenlights by Matthew McConoughey is an insightful and intimate exploration of one southern boy’s journey to stardom. Born to ‘twice divorced and thrice married parents’, I loved reading McConoughey’s honest account of being raised in a turbulent household that was peppered by violence, love and humanity, I loved reading about the time using mink-oil as acne cream went horribly wrong, about the time a stolen pizza that led to a concussion, and about an ill-fated lawsuit that his father never forgave him for.
