"Green lights:
- Matthew McConaughey is a self-proclaimed optimist. It’s refreshing to see the perspective of someone whose glass is so full.
- The way he reads the audiobook is pretty darn funny, making me spontaneously laugh many times.
- There are some pieces of good advice, like standing firm with your decisions to forego the easy paths while you wait for the right one.

Yellow lights:
- M.M. is a weird dude, but if you opt to listen to or read his book you probably already know that.
- There are lots of stories about his bodily fluids and touching himself. Not one, not two, but three anecdotes about (earmuffs kids) wet dreams.

Red light:
- I was seriously creeped out by his description of the night he met his wife. They were at a bar, and when it closed he invited her back to his place for a drink. She declined, but when it turned out her car had been towed he asked her again to come over for one drink, after which his limo driver would take her home. She then accepted, but when she was ready to leave oh darn his limo was mysteriously no longer available. And gosh darn it, that late at night no cab companies were still open. So she was then basically trapped there and had to stay the night. Call me a snowflake, but NOT COOL MATTHEW, NOT COOL! But she obviously disagreed since she married him."

"Oh lord, was this annoying. I love a good celebrity memoir, but not when riddled with self-help tidbits. If McConaughey had stuck to personal essays without all the cheesy, self-satisfactory interjections (“prescription!� and “note to self!� and “bumper sticker!�), I’d have liked it more, even though the stories themselves felt very anecdotal and lacked depth. Unless you’re a massive fan, I can’t recommend."

"Really enjoyed this one. I really love Matthew McConnaughey as a human and as an actor so I was really excited to hear he wrote a book! I listened to the audiobook and his narration is absolutely fantastic, if you decide to read this book you HAVE to go with the audiobook, his voice is amazing and his narration was so fun I was smiling like an idiot most of the time reading this.

Only reason I knocked off a star is because I wasn’t a huge fan of the self-help parts of this book, I was more interested in hearing his interesting life stories and learning more about his roles and his family and I could’ve done without the strange generic bumper sticker quotes haha.

But I love this! If you are a fan of his I’d definitely recommend checking this one out! I loved hearing more behind the scenes things about his career. "
