Matthew McConaughey, “Green Light”
This isn’t your typical Hollywood star memoir, but a candid philosophy of life from an “Oscar” winner. Matthew McConaughey kept diaries for thirty-five years to eventually compile them into a book of instructions on how to be honest, enjoy every day, and be yourself. The title reflects his approach to fate – the ability to notice signs that push him to make bold decisions. This mix of funny stories (like one about everyday life in a trailer with a mutt), serious reflections, and life rules has been called by critics “soothing and hilariously funny”.
