Matthew McConaughey: Greenlights

EPISODE 126

In episode 126, we look at Matthew McConaughey’s Greenlights, and how it isn’t a conventional memoir.

As he neared age 50, the Oscar-winning actor revisited the journal he kept for 35 years to see what he could learn from it.

“This is a book about how to catch more YESs in a world of NOs and how to recognize when a NO might actually be a YES. This is a book about catching green lights and realizing that the yellow and the reds eventually turn green.”
