Reviewed in Canada on November 3, 2020
It is hard to fine an inspirational book that can change your life. This is one of those. Matthew is so deep in his feelings and they seem to be very genuine. A life changer for sure. I would recommend this book for anyone looking for positive inspiration. 5 Stars

1.0 out of 5 starsBEYOND HORRIBLE. Save your time and money.
Reviewed in Canada on January 13, 2021
I would give this book zero stars if I could, it was the BIGGEST disappointment. First off it arrived filthy, the cover was greasy with black marks I had to clean off. Then I started reading and I just could not get into it. Horrible writing style, cannot even read the scribble of his own text. Completely disjointed and not even remotely inspiring. Another reviewer mentioned something about seeming like it was written with an open thesaurus near by and I have to agree. His family life growing up sounds very disturbing and he passes it off as love? What? The stories he told were was so over the top, it bordered on being boring because of it. Or I just could not relate in the slightest. I had to stop reading, my time is more valuable than that. What an absolute WASTE OF TIME and MONEY.

Um. Not what I expected. Goofy... and kinda weird. I can’t believe that there is a “workbook” to go along with this biography.... I guess I’m the sucker that was born the minute I bought this biography. Disappointed.

Incredible book ! Well worth the money. I'm not a big reader but this book I could find relatable in alot of ways. Matthew McConaughey is quite the talented engaging guy to watch on screen & to read about his personal struggles & successes. Highly recommend this book

Need I say more? This is a insightful book that gives background on his upbringing and how he made his own opportunities. He set personal boundaries and did not waiver. I purchased the hard copy and I have the audiobook as well. Cause well Matthew ......

This was truly enjoyable. Never really knew much about Matthew before the book and now I want to know more. A lot of inspiration to take away from his life lessons.

How did the book make me feel/think?

I watched my father die the day after I turned 25. I watched my mother die less than 2 years later. I am a provincial + national champion quarterback (I'm blind in one eye) in football, + I threw the longest touchdown pass in Canadian Junior Football History. I’ve travelled to 17 countries. I have played 2-on-2 basketball with David Duchovny—and beat him. I’ve had breakfast with Michael Chiklis. I brushed past the Dali Lama. I crashed a motorcycle in Jamaica wearing only shorts and flip flops—my first time riding a motorbike. I tried to buy a hotel in Jamaica that led me to Panama during a military coup—something to do with Noriega. Sixteen years after my mother died, I discovered she wasn’t my birth mother, and everything familial in my life had been a lie. This moment trapped me, and I started living it over and over and over and over again. In 2016, I met my birth mother for the first time alongside her deathbed—saying goodbye—adding to my baggage.

I have a wonderful life. A challenging life. A fascinating life. I have a lot of life left.

In Greenlights, McConaughey, with breathtaking honesty, humour, and subtle, deft wisdom, shares his life’s journey. Instilling in each of us the importance of cherishing moments, placing them in the right compartments, and then moving forward to give yourself and those you love the fullest, most vibrant life experiences. Love is paramount. It’s okay to move past the moments you keep living over and over and over and over again. It is a must that you do.

Thank You, Matthew, for sharing your journey.
