Number-one New York Times Best Seller Discover the life-changing memoir that has inspired millions of readers through the Academy Award-winning actor\u2019s unflinching honesty, unconventional wisdom, and lessons learned the hard way about living with greater satisfaction.<\/p>\n

Named One of the Best Books of the Year by The Guardian<\/p>\n

\u201cMcConaughey\u2019s 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.\u201d (Mark Manson, author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck)<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been in this life for 50 years, been trying to work out its riddle for 42, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last 35. 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.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s challenges – how to get relative with the inevitable – you can enjoy a state of success I call \u201ccatching greenlights.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, it\u2019s medicine that tastes good, a couple of aspirin instead of the infirmary, a spaceship to Mars without needing your pilot\u2019s license, going to church without having to be born again, and laughing through the tears.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a love letter. To life.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also a guide to catching more greenlights – and to realizing that the yellows and reds eventually turn green, too.<\/p>\n

Good luck.<\/p>\n
