Greenlights

Just in the middle of the read, insightful, philosophical, like the Ramkrishna paramhans view being told or any eastern or western philosophy in his own way, amust read ,great actor n person

Channel surfing, many years ago, led me to 'Contact' starring Jodie Foster and Matthew McConaughey, the first I saw and still remember of the actor. Some time ago, his official page showed up on my Instagram feed - his posts struck a chord and I followed the account. Cut to the present, someone in my reading group, reviewed his autobiography, 'Greenlights', raving about it, which led to an instant purchase. The blurb, says, It's a love letter. To life. Spot on. Greenlights departs from the usual autobiographical format - journal entries, musings, doodles, jokes, quotes and life goals augment the personal account, making it connect more. Matthew McConaughey's life, is a story of rewriting codes, right from childhood - the youngest of three brothers, growing up in Texas, with unconventional parents, who divorced and married each other thrice. The siblings went through their own rites of passage into manhood, with their father provoking and instigating them into taking a stand. Following his heart led him into the art of moviemaking and cinema, struggling to get a break, finally making it big, giving up on the lucrative rom com genre, when he was right on top, because it wasn't his soul call. Critical acclaim and meaty roles eventually did answer it. Responding to his visions and dreams, his extensive travels to experience different cultures, ponderings on religion, spirituality, fame and life, guided him to his GREENLIGHTS - the tickets to move forward. A committed family man and philanthropist, he believes, “Every red light eventually turns green.” It's important to know when to persist, pivot, or quit. My sole gripe - wish the print quality was better. It's a strain to read the journal excerpts, some parts, illegible.

Amazing narration of McConaughey's life (so far). Like raw honey, sweet and wild. He has lived a life fully on intuition, with firm beliefs and pursued it. Worth a read when an actor of his caliber and a person of his truth isolates himself and pens down the principles and values that he has abided by. Great read. LIVIN ( drop the G)

Good fun read! Many hilarious moments! Loved reading the story of his life so far. I love Matthew and his choice of movies! Post this read, I also love his philosophy and outlook towards living!!

The way Mathew takes you through his life, making us believe in the hard work and dedication, talking about the successes and failures in greens and reds, this book is simply one of my favourites. I don’t like reading motivational books, but this one is a motivational book disguised as someone’s experiences and expertises.

From the first word I had my cowboy hat, boots, beer and horse at the ready. Bunch of laughs, inspiration and smirks filled the time reading this absolute gold of a book. To the ones who love him, he will mean something different and to the ones who don't, alright, alright, alright.

The book is great and absolutely worth But the packaging of it just doesn’t make sense that how can you treat a book like this just one paper of packaging on the books. Please improve it. ASAP

Well the quality and condition is fantastic but i was under the impression that this was the version which has that green tone throughout index pages but it’s not that one so keep that in mind

Received in excellent condition and the print is fine…

read Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey, and it was an unforgettable experience: 🔹 Entertaining and candid storytelling: McConaughey delivers his life story with his signature humor and charm. The book is filled with colorful, sometimes outrageous anecdotes that keep you hooked from start to finish. 🔹 Wisdom in unconventional places: The "greenlights" concept, as McConaughey explains, represents those moments in life when things align, and you’re on the right track. The book offers practical advice and "outlaw wisdom" for anyone looking for motivation or guidance in life, all wrapped in his unique, free-spirited style. 🔹 Relatable and inspiring: Whether you're a fan of McConaughey’s acting or not, the book resonates because it's about more than fame – it's about life, growth, and making the most of your time.
