After I sign up, a steady stream of emails signed “McConaughey” urge me to set alarms, take notes and “go all in”. “Pretend like you paid $10,000 … though this event is free, it’s WORTH that much.” When I join the YouTube livestream, more than 250,000 people are already there, including those who didpay – for the VIP “camera-on experience”, to be c...
Nearly 400,000 people are watching on YouTube, but there is no studio audience, leaving McConaughey to perform, with unrelenting intensity, directly into the camera. An appreciative atmosphere is simulated with canned laughter and applause. Audience participation is encouraged in the chat, however, and being beamed to McConaughey on stage. We are a...
The word “self-help” is conspicuously absent. Instead, there are references to “self-growth, self-exploration and self-development” and many metaphors, often car-related. To begin, McConaughey asks us to set aside judgment of ourselves and others, “to clear the lane” between head and heart. “The art of livin’ starts with admittin’ – if we want to b...
People who make you feel safe – your tribe – “may also keep you small”, he says. Aligning on political beliefs, or against others’ perspectives or opinions, is often a false source of identity: “Just some passive-aggressive, counterpunch, default bullshit!” Wild-eyed, McConaughey exhales and steps back from the camera. “Guilty – I said no judgin’. ...
Our greatest strengths can also be our greatest weaknesses, says McConaughey. “That one just came to me, like, six months ago.” His own example is resilience: “I fall down, I get up … I step in a pile of shit – I keep running.” But, McConaughey goes on, he can be so quick to dust himself off that he makes the same mistakes. “I step in the same pile...
When McConaughey was 11 and living in a trailer park, his dad told him that his mother was on an extended vacation in Florida. Twenty years later, McConaughey learned that his parents had actually been divorcing for the second time. “Dad thought it was best for me not to know, and I gotta say: he was right,” McConaughey says. “And besides – they go...
McConaughey tells the story, familiar from Greenlights, of becoming famous overnight (well, 72 hours) thanks to 1996’s A Time to Kill. Shaken to his core by the attention, he sought out a monastery in the desert and counsel from a resident monk. Over four and a half hours, McConaughey unburdened himself to Brother Christian, who never said a single...
We’re too old to be afraid of the dark, says McConaughey. He entreats us to “shake those damn nursery rhymes … to quit turning our dreams into these damn nightmares”. After all, what is it, really, lurking under our beds? Could it be our fear of failure? “We have to look the monster in the eye and hold that son of a bitch’s eyes,” says McConaughey....
McConaughey urges us to embrace our individual talents – “something you do pretty darn well on a consistent basis”, be it caring for your children or telling jokes. “Maybe you’re a great whistler!” He whistles a jaunty tune to canned laughter. Whatever it is, McConaughey says, “have more GRATITUUUUUDE for it”. “The recipe for your particular secret...
McConaughey retells the story of the wet dream – in which he was floating down the Amazon, naked, watched for some reason by “African tribesmen” – acknowledging that it is “peculiar and ironic”. His point turns out to be about learning to trust ourselves and each other. We live in a world where distrust has become our default position, says McConau...
Oct 26, 2020 · By Matthew McConaughey . This is not a traditional memoir. Yes, I tell stories from the past, but I have no interest in nostalgia, sentimentality, or the retirement most memoirs require. This is not an advice book, either. Although I like preachers, I’m not here to preach and tell you what to do. This is an approach book.

Nov 1, 2020 · The ostensible reason for our conversation is Greenlights, McConaughey’s new book which he calls “a big stack of stories about people, places, prescribes, poems and prayers,” drawn from 35 years of his diaries.
