内容简介

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.

    性感聲音,豐富經歷,人格魅力,對沒錯他都有,但他真的不是什麼好作家。個人表達是寶貴的,但他翻來覆去的greenlight讓我感到厭倦,或許聽他的自傳是一個對過於自洽的男人祛魅的過程。11-26

    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.11-13

    麦康纳嘿的故事都挺有趣的,听他自己读的有声书就更加觉得他讲故事很优秀。但是他一讲人生哲学,用红黄绿灯的明喻还有劲多的排比,对我来说还是油了一点啊。他太清楚自己的优势也太自满了,他可以用自己的规则成为人生赢家。前几天才有人和我说顺利通过一个绿灯的话接下来可以一路畅通。如果一开头就碰到红灯,后面的都是红灯。人类的信号灯并不相通:(02-21
