Greenlights

Greenlights: Your Journal, Your Journey is a guided companion to the #1 New York Times bestselling memoir Greenlights, filled with prompts, pithy quotes, adages, outlaw wisdom, and advice on how to live with greater satisfaction. Matthew has been writing in journals since he was fifteen years old. His adventures have taken him from Texas to Australia, from Mali to Peru—and he has chronicled them all. In this authentic, unconventional journal, the prompts encourage going inside: remembering, reflecting, and musing, and also going outside: adventuring, taking risks, and dreaming big. Who could be a better guide for seekers setting out on the road to understanding their lives inside and out, past, present, and future?

Matthew wrote a book(alright). Matthew narrated his new book(alright). Matthew is a multifaceted artist(alright). Alright, alright, alright. = Greenlight!

I’ve been a fan since day one and knew this man (as a fellow Scorpio) is way more than what is shown at the surface. Amazing writing. Words to live by. Fascinating stories.

Keep writin’ and livin’ kindred soul; the world needs you and I certainly needed this book. Thank you for putting yourself out there sincerely.

2025 Reread Review: This was my second time reading this one, this time for my book club, and I still enjoyed it but I actually think I liked it a little less. I’ve read so much more since I picked this one up and have some new perspectives on story telling and writing styles that I think I realized areas I didn’t like as much this time around. Nothing changes in terms of his experiences and how captivating or interesting they can be but I did feel like it was clunky at times. I listened to the audio again which is great because Matthew does his own narration but i also have a hard copy of this now so I was able to look through the physical and it really is a fun and inspiring story. I love the way he provides advice and learnings to us as a reader while adding his personal flare. Still one of the better memoirs I’ve picked up! 2023 Review: This memoir came highly recommend by my husband and since I already liked Matthew McConaughey so I felt pretty confident I would like hearing his story. I was right. His experiences and advice were captivating and hearing it all in his smooth, baritone, handsome voice just made it so much better.

Interesting character, crazy life. He's a very spiritual soul and appreciates the good fortune he's had.

I loved this touching, funny set of stories about the author's life. Some stories were funnier than others, and some had me feeling strong emotions. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who needed something light and quick to read. It was well-written and kept me engaged for the whole book.
