具體描述

Academy Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey is a married man, a father of three children, and a loyal son and brother. He considers himself a storyteller by occupation, believes it's okay to have a beer on the way to the temple, feels better with a day's sweat on him, and is an aspiring orchestral conductor.

In 2009, Matthew and his wife, Camila, founded the just keep livin Foundation, which helps at-risk high school students make healthier mind, body, and spirit choices. In 2019, McConaughey became a professor of practice at the University of Texas at Austin, as well as Minister of Culture/M.O.C. for the University of Texas and the City of Austin. McConaughey is also brand ambassador for Lincoln Motor Company, an owner of the Major League Soccer club Austin FC, and co-creator of his favorite bourbon on the planet, Wild Turkey Longbranch.

From 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.

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. 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.

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's challenges - how to get relative with the inevitable - you can enjoy a state of success I call 'catching greenlights.'

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.

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.

It's a love letter. To life.

It's also a guide to catching more greenlights-and to realising that the yellows and reds eventually turn green too.

Good luck.

##How different the lives we lived. I don't really envy the name and fame of a movie star like Matthew but how I envy he truly understands what's the most important things in life to himself and willing to get there with confidence and courage.

##斷斷續續聽完的Audible,他的語速真的很快,頭一次需要把倍速調到0.9。本來以為這本自傳會集中講訴他轉型的故事,然而真探和達拉斯買傢俱樂部都隻是最後一章的點綴,真正的故事是聚焦於他的一生。活得真通透。有幾個特彆好笑的地方,在澳大利亞那一段我真的是笑得停不下來。 這是一本很認真的自傳,書中有很多嚴肅的思考,探索,價值觀探討,但同時也是一本hilarious的書,而書中的笑料大部分都由馬修的傢人奉獻。分享幾例: 1. 馬修的父母離婚兩次,結婚三次,最後在兩人晨起做愛的過程中,他爸突發心髒病,死在他媽身上。馬修描寫他接到母親的報喪電...

##Genuine personal stories unexpectedly lead to a deep faith proclaiming. Wise and touchy-feely. Mathew’s own vocal performance must be better than text only. I enjoyed it a lot. Thanks to Audible.

##做瞭一個視頻的點評,有興趣請移步[這裏]。 [https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1PX4y157xV] 先說為什麼特彆好,再說為什麼不要看。如果大傢沒時間自己去瞭解Greenlights的更多內容,我也可以做更細的轉述和點評,看有沒有感興趣吧。如果在美國養男孩,更應該瞭解多點。其實聽...
