Absolutely fantastic! ( ) I haven't read a celebrity book in decades. Generally, I find anything written by celebrities and politicians to be self-promoting bullshit. They don't make it on my to-read list often. I'm not completely sure how this book made it there. I'm pleased to report nothing has changed my opinion. This got by the dreaded DNF and earned a couple of stars for the audacious nature of Mr. McConaughey's sincere belief that he is a boot-strappy kind of self-made man. That was super hilarious.
A gloriously bonkers effort from the Oscar-winning star of Dallas Buyers Club: it is not a memoir, he assures readers, but an "approach book". In between anecdotes about warring parents, travelling, fame, films and debauchery, Greenlights bulges with lists, photos, poems and notes scrawled with fortune-cookie homilies, all part of his basic philosophy that he likes to call "livin' – there’s no 'g' on the end of livin because life is a verb."
