You may think you know all there is to know about beloved Hollywood actor Matthew McConaughey. But the Academy Award winner’s memoir, which he narrates, is a delightfully honest and inspiring look at the actor’s life experiences and hard-earned lessons that will surprise even his biggest fans.

Matthew McConaughey has starred in comedies like Dazed and Confused and rom-coms like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, and won an Oscar for his incredible performance in the drama Dallas Buyers Club. Famous not only for his "alright, alright, alright" and "you just gotta keep livin’ man" catchphrases, the actor is also down to earth and passionately Texan. In 2015, he began co-teaching the "Script to Screen" film production class at the University of Texas at Austin.

Greenlights was an actual labour of love for McConaughey, who took it upon himself to escape to the desert for 52 days without electricity to write the book. Relying on his diaries and journals, which he began to keep in high school, the book has been described as a memoir, but McConaughey calls it an "approach book." It’s filled with the kind of wisdom found in the best self-help books, and, McConaughey says, "it’s also a guide to catching more green lights—and to realizing that the yellows and reds eventually turn green too."

The audiobook is narrated by Matthew McConaughey, driving home his message of setbacks not always being bad, unconventional wisdom and advice that will prove invaluable to your journey, no matter what stage you find yourself in. This is a great book to enjoy in audio format for fans of the beloved actor and anyone who enjoys a captivating memoir alike.
