I love memoirs. I love getting that glimpse into other people’s lives. Especially when it’s a famous (and likeable) actor like Matthew McConaughey! So I was happy when the digital version of his book, Greenlights, became available from my local library.

The title is in reference to the moments in life when things just sort of work out for you, or give you a strong hint that you are headed in the “right” direction. I would not say McConaughey has had an easy life full of greenlights, but he’s definitely made the best with what he was given. His attitude towards life is overall positive, but with a healthy dose of pragmatism. He’s also lived a *very* interesting life, which kept me intrigued. The way he writes did get a bit intense at times, but I enjoyed reading it. He kept me laughing at times, and pondering at others. I highly recommend this book and I’d give it a 9 out of 10, just because some sections did require a lot of brain power and some of his poetry was visually difficult to read. All in all, a fun and thought-provoking read.
