具體描述
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.

##聽的有聲書，太引人入勝瞭，仿佛看瞭好幾場電影。 他有真正的強大內心
評分##讀得最快的一本自傳，配閤著朗讀版，雖然後麵部分加瞭倍速聽，但一點點沒影響馬修聲音的魅力，他根本就是在繪聲繪色地念颱詞啊，天哪太贊瞭。沒想到是一本爽的自傳故事書！絕對值得讀，一定要配閤audio，增色不少。
評分##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.
評分Don't half ass it, McConaughey老爹如是說。推薦Audible作者朗讀版。7個小時聽完看見的英文全部自帶德州口音。
