Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey
funny
inspiring
reflective
medium-paced
4.0
Celebrity memoirs aren’t usually my thing, but Greenlights drew me in because 1) it wasn’t ghost written, and 2) I’ve watched an interview between him and Ryan Holiday and it seemed like he was down to Earth and had a good sense of who he was.
The book is an interesting book that’s part memoir and part self-reflections - which makes sense because he’s journaled since 15. Some would say this borders into the self-help space, but I really see his prescriptions as him formulating and announcing his own personal world view.
I listened to it in its audiobook form and would highly recommend it for anyone interested in reading it. McConaughey is masterful story teller and it’s a wonderful performance.
