Greenlights

Part memoir, part self-help scrapbook, Greenlights draws on thirty-five years of diaries McConaughey kept in journals, on napkins, and in his head. He organizes his life into greenlights, the moments things went right, and the yellow and red ones that redirected him, mining each for a hard-won lesson or bit of Texan wisdom. Digressive, funny, and unabashedly earnest, it reads like the actor talking straight to you about persistence, family, and choosing your own approach to living.
