具體描述
From the Academy Award®-winning actor, an unconventional memoir filled with raucous stories, outlaw wisdom, and lessons learned the hard way about living with greater satisfaction.
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.
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.'
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.
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.
It's a love letter. To life.
It's also a guide to catching more greenlights-and to realising that the yellows and reds eventually turn green too.
Good luck.
用戶評價
##看完瞭感受到Matthew還是一個非常驕傲的德州男！他在澳大利亞那段經曆非常有意思，喜歡他的演習的思維，”what will my man do?!”
評分##如果不是作者自己朗讀，這本書光看字，某些篇章挺無聊的。離shirtless on beach或者exotic adventure from wet dreams的生活畢竟太遠瞭。Born a Texan, always one. 有些片段有佳句(good from afar and far from good). Bumper Stickers太多啦。作者的生活態度就是全力以赴而且對一切都覺得took it for granted 。大概來自於他爹：to win it is better than to afford it 。McConaissance是他自己吹牛放的風哈哈哈。
評分##How different the lives we lived. I don't really envy the name and fame of a movie star like Matthew but how I envy he truly understands what's the most important things in life to himself and willing to get there with confidence and courage.
評分##麥康納嘿的故事都挺有趣的，聽他自己讀的有聲書就更加覺得他講故事很優秀。但是他一講人生哲學，用紅黃綠燈的明喻還有勁多的排比，對我來說還是油瞭一點啊。他太清楚自己的優勢也太自滿瞭，他可以用自己的規則成為人生贏傢。前幾天纔有人和我說順利通過一個綠燈的話接下來可以一路暢通。如果一開頭就碰到紅燈，後麵的都是紅燈。人類的信號燈並不相通:(

評分##開頭強烈patriotic and patriarch 白美國人味 想成為爹那裏開始強烈爹味
評分##Genuine personal stories unexpectedly lead to a deep faith proclaiming. Wise and touchy-feely. Mathew’s own vocal performance must be better than text only. I enjoyed it a lot. Thanks to Audible.
評分##聽得州老小夥兒講那過去的故事
