Description
Bestseller #1 del New York Times Descubre las memorias que han inspirado a millones de lectores en todo el mundo a través de la honestidad sin límites, la sabiduría no convencional y las lecciones aprendidas de éxitos y fracasos, alegrías y tristezas del actor Matthew McConaughey. He estado en esta vida durante cincuenta años, he intentado resolver su misterio durante cuarenta y dos, y he estado llenando diarios con pistas para ese enigma durante los últimos treinta y cinco. Notas sobre éxitos y fracasos, alegrías y tristezas, cosas que me maravillaron y otras que me hicieron reír a carcajadas. Cómo ser justo. Cómo tener menos estrés. Cómo divertirte. Cómo dañar menos a la gente. Cómo dañarse menos a uno mismo. Cómo ser un buen hombre. Cómo hallar el sentido de la vida. Cómo ser más yo. Encontré historias que experimenté, lecciones que aprendí y olvidé, poemas, oraciones, recetas, creencias sobre lo que importa y un montón de calcomanías para coches. Hallé un tema honesto, un enfoque sobre la vida que me dio más satisfacción, entonces y ahora: si sabes cómo enfrentar los retos de la vida --cómo ver relativo lo que es inevitable-- puedes disfrutar de un estado de éxito que yo llamo "atrapar luces verdes". Así pues, compré un boleto de ida al desierto y escribí este libro: un álbum, un disco, una historia de mi vida hasta ahora. Son cincuenta años de cosas que he visto y he experimentado, unas muy padres y otras vergonzosas. Es una carta de amor. A la vida. También es una guía para seguir atrapando luces verdes y para darnos cuenta de que las luces amarillas y rojas también se vuelven verdes. Buena suerte. Matthew McConaughey es un hombre casado, padre de tres niños y leal hijo y hermano. Se considera narrador de profesión, cree que está bien tomarte una cerveza de camino a la iglesia, se siente mejor cuando deja atrás un día de duro trabajo y aspira a ser director de orquesta. En 2009 Matthew y su esposa Camila fundaron la just keep livin Foundation, que ayuda a estudiantes de secundaria en riesgo a tomar decisiones más sanas para su mente, su cuerpo y su espíritu.

GREENLIGHTS or the Art of Running Downhill #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Discover the life-changing memoir that has inspired millions of readers through the Academy Award(R)-winning actor's unflinching honesty, unconventional 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 realizing that the yellows and reds eventually turn green too. Good luck.
