#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * Discover the life-changing memoir that has inspired millions of readers through&nbsp;the Academy Award®-winning actor's unflinching honesty, unconventional wisdom, and&nbsp;lessons learned the hard way&nbsp;about living with greater satisfaction. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE GUARDIAN "McConaughey's book invites us to grapple with the lessons of his life as he did--and to see that the point was never to win, but to understand."--Mark Manson, author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck I've been in this life for fifty years, been trying to work out its riddle for forty-two, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last thirty-five. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me. &nbsp; Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries. I found stories I experienced, lessons I learned and forgot, poems, prayers, prescriptions, beliefs about what matters, some great photographs, and a whole bunch of bumper stickers. I found a reliable theme, an approach to living that gave me more satisfaction, at the time, and still: If you know how, and when, to deal with life's challenges--how to get relative with the inevitable--you can enjoy a state of success I call "catching greenlights." &nbsp; So I took a one-way ticket to the desert and wrote this book: an album, a record, a story of my life so far. This is fifty years of my sights and seens, felts and figured-outs, cools and shamefuls. Graces, truths, and beauties of brutality. Getting away withs, getting caughts, and getting wets while trying to dance between the raindrops. &nbsp; Hopefully, it's medicine that tastes good, a couple of aspirin instead of the infirmary, a spaceship to Mars without needing your pilot's license, going to church without having to be born again, and laughing through the tears. &nbsp; It's a love letter. To life. &nbsp; It's also a guide to catching more greenlights--and to realizing that the yellows and reds eventually turn green too. &nbsp; Good luck. The short dust jacket included with this hardcover edition is an intentional design choice.

Cela fait trente-cinq ans que je tiens des journaux intimes. J'y consigne mes réussites et échecs, mes joies, mes chagrins, les choses qui m'ont émerveillé et celles qui m'ont fait rire aux éclats. Trente-cinq ans à prendre conscience, à me souvenir, à me rendre compte, à comprendre, à rassembler et à griffonner ce qui m'a ému ou excité en route. Comment être juste. Comment moins stresser. Comment m'amuser. Comment moins blesser les autres. Comment être moins blessé. Comment être un type bien. Comment obtenir ce que je veux. Comment trouver un sens à la vie. Comment être plus moi-même.\nRécemment, j'ai trouvé le courage de m'attaquer à ces journaux et de les relire en entier. Ce que j'ai trouvé ? Un catalogue d'histoires, de leçons que j'avais apprises et oubliées, de poèmes, de prières, de recommandations, de réponses à des questions que je me posais, de questions que je me pose encore, d'affirmations, de doutes, de professions de foi sur ce qui importe vraiment, de théories sur la relativité, et toute une ribambelle de slogans.\nJ'ai découvert ce qui, dans mon approche de la vie, m'avait donné le plus de satisfaction à l'époque et m'avait guidé. J'ai appelé ça attraper les feux verts. C'est un thème solide.\nDonc j'ai pris mes journaux sous le bras et me suis offert un confinement en solitaire dans le désert, où je me suis mis à écrire ce que vous lisez à présent : un album, une trace, une histoire de ma vie jusqu'à ce jour.\nLes choses que j'ai vues, rêvées, cherchées, données et reçues.\nLes vérités explosives qui ont tellement court-circuité mon espace-temps que je n'ai pu les ignorer.\nLes contrats que j'ai passés avec moi-même, que j'honore pour beaucoup, et dont pour la plupart je cherche encore à me rendre digne.\nVoilà ce que j'ai vu, et comment – mon ressenti et mes trouvailles, mes moments de classe et de honte. Les grâces, les vérités et les beautés de la brutalité.\nLes initiations, les invitations, les calibrages et transitions.\nLes " je m'en sors à bon compte ", les " je me fais choper ", et les " je me mouille en essayant de danser entre les gouttes ".\nLes rites de passage.\nCe livre raconte aussi comment choper les feux verts, réaliser que les feux orange et les rouges peuvent changer de couleur aussi.\nCe livre est une lettre d'amour.\nÀ la vie
