You have three choices when you come up against yellow or red lights: Persist, pivot for a different approach, or surrender. Life also has yellow and red lights-detours, illnesses, failures. You can “catch” greenlights through luck or earn them through smart living. Or it could be a simple sense of rightness and well-being. A greenlight could take many different forms, such as success, prosperity, meeting the love of your life, or witnessing the birth of your child. Matthew believes the positive aspects of a person’s life can be explained by the concept of “greenlights.” These are events that let you know your life is on the right track. Part autobiography and part life-guide, Greenlights both explains and illustrates McConaughey’s philosophy of “catching greenlights”-recognizing and even creating those moments when life says “yes” and you cruise into success as you pursue your destiny. The result is this book, which combines hard-earned insights about the art of living with vivid accounts of McConaughey’s upbringing in rural Texas, his adventures in the movie business, his global travels, and his lifelong search for love and fatherhood. As he neared age 50, the Oscar-winning actor revisited the journal that he had kept for the previous 35 years to see what he could learn from it. Matthew McConaughey’s Greenlights is not a conventional memoir. 1-Page Summary 1-Page Book Summary of Greenlights
