Hello All!

Generally, I'm not particularily drawn to memoirs/biographies/ 
autobiographies of other people, particularly of actors, but  
this one by Matthew McConaughey is rather interesting in style,  
presentation and ultimately its content.

It reads like genuine conversion. It has some colour photos  
from his life and family. It's filled with replicas of notes,  
musings, poems and thoughts from various points in his life  
from the personal diaries he kept.

This one has a unique vibe that primarily is due in part that  
it emotes a seemingly natural philosophical personality.

McConaughey, the philosopher. Who would have thought?

He writes about his book:

"Hopefully, it's medicine that tastes good, a couple of aspirin
instead of the infirmary, a spaceship to Mars without needing
your pilot's license, going to church without having to be born
again, and laughing through the tears.

"It's a love letter. To life.

"It's also a guide to catching more greenlights-and to
realizing that the yellows and reds eventually turn green too.

"Good luck.
