About this listen

The debut picture book by Academy Award-winning actor and #1 New York Times bestselling author Matthew McConaughey—adapted for audio

Just because I’m in the race,

doesn’t mean I’m fully ready.

Just because I’m shaking,

doesn’t mean that I’m not steady.

Have you ever felt worried and excited at the same time?

Have you ever had your feelings hurt but forgiven someone anyway?

Have you ever thought there was more than one right answer to a question?

That’s because contradictions are all around us. And they make us who we are.

Filled with his trademark humor and wisdom, Academy Award-winning actor and #1 New York Times bestselling author Matthew McConaughey has crafted a soulful and irreverent collection of life lessons that empowers listeners, big and small, to celebrate how we are all full of possibility.

Why? Just because.

Just because…

Just because it’s short doesn’t mean it’s not great; just because he’s practical, doesn’t mean we have to hate…LOVE THIS!

Disappointing

Incredibly disappointing. A trust was built with the first book and I didn’t hesitate to pre purchase this. We should all get our our money back.
