Greenlights - By Matthew McConaughey, 1 Each, $20.99
Recognizable actor Matthew McConaughey has kept notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made him marvel, and things that made him truly laugh out loud. He noted how to have fun, how to hurt people less, how to get hurt less, how to be a good man, and how to have meaning in life. He worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries. He found a reliable theme, an approach to living that gave him more satisfaction, at the time, and still: If you know how, and when, to deal with lifes challengeshow to get relative with the inevitableyou can enjoy a state of success he calls catching greenlights. Matthew went to the desert and wrote this book: an album, a record, a story his life so far. Fifty years of my sights and seens, feelings, stumbles. Graces, truths, and beauty. Its medicine that tastes good, a couple of aspirin instead of the infirmary, a spaceship to Mars without needing your pilots license, going to church without having to be born again, and laughing through the tears.
