Greenlights

A #1 New York Times bestseller with over 6 million copies sold worldwide, this inspiring memoir by Academy Award–winning actor Matthew McConaughey shares his honest reflections, unconventional wisdom, and hard-earned lessons on living with purpose and joy.

Drawing from decades of personal journals filled with successes, failures, laughter, pain, and insight, McConaughey explores what it means to live well—to be fair, find meaning, and stay true to oneself. Revisiting his life’s stories, poems, prayers, and lessons, he discovered a philosophy he calls “catching greenlights”: recognizing opportunities, learning from challenges, and trusting that even life’s red and yellow lights eventually turn green.

Written as a mix of memoir and life guide, Greenlights is both a love letter to life and a roadmap for embracing its ups and downs with humor, courage, and grace
