Greenlights By Matthew McConaughey
Audio Bokks Greenlights By Matthew McConaughey
This book is and has been my devotion. It is the truest permanent extension I have ever drawn or created of myself. Ever since I learned to write I have been keeping a journal with me and writing down anything that aroused me, whether it was laughter, tears or doubts… Two years ago I mustered up the courage to put all those journals together and isolate myself to work on them and see what the hell I had. And I came back with this, a book. It’s called Greenlights because it’s a story about how me and all of us can get more green lights out of the life we live. We don’t like red or yellow lights because they take up our time. When we realize that they all end up turning green, that’s when life becomes a poem and we start to get what we want and need. This is not a conventional memoir or advice book, but rather a playbook based on adventures from my life.»
