From the Academy Award(R)-winning actor, an unconventional memoir filled with raucous stories, outlaw wisdom, and lessons learned the hard way about living with greater satisfaction

"Unflinchingly honest and remarkably candid, Matthew McConaughey's book invites us to grapple with the lessons of his life as he did--and to see that the point was never to win, but to understand."--Mark Manson, author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck

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.

Destructable
Style: Squeaky Duck
Destructible!!!! My 13-pound dog stripped the bird toy down in a day. I’d recommend strong or highly motivated chewers get a different toy.

Great for puppies
Size: Small(3/8"-6ft), Color: Pink
Perfect for a new puppy. It’s thick and sturdy so the pup can’t chew through it easily. The slip knot slides well so the pup is secured but not choked. Easy to hold. Great product.

Functional and pretty leash!
Size: Large(1/2"-6ft), Color: Grey
This is a convenient leash for taking pup out for a quick potty break. Obviously, the dog doesn't care about the aesthetic but I sure do, and this thing is cute. The leather accents are lovely and the whole thing seems to be high quality for a good price. For a dog that doesn't pull on the leash, this thing is great and super easy to use. Our dog is still learning not to pull, so this wouldn't be suitable for a long walk just yet.

Great Slip-On Leash
Size: Large(1/2"-6ft), Color: Black
Great little leash. I originally bought this for the neighborhood pitbull that keeps escaping. First time I was able to get him by the collar and walk him home hunched over, but the second time he escaped he had slipped it, so I had to carry him home. i figured it was time to get a leash to have one on hand (we didn't have our own dog at the time). This was the first slip over leash I spotted on here and so I grabbed it just to have here the next time he shows up. Really glad I did. If I approach friendly, he comes over tail wagging looking for affection. I can easily slip it over as I give him some pets and then he happily walks home with me. It works perfectly for that. Then comes our recently adopted puppy. She came with a very small collar (but she's already 22 lbs) and the clip on leash we got for her was kind of cumbersome to put on with that tiny little D-ring, so this ended up becoming our go-to leash for walks as well. Much easier to take on and off, and especially easy to slip over for those times I let her run off leash and she's not cooperating with it going back on. Very strong without being too heavy, and easy on both my hands and the dog's neck. I'll probably go back to a clip-on once she fits into her larger/wider collar (which will be much more comfortable for her), but for now this is a fantastic temporary solution. I cannot recommend it enough.

Good Teaching & walking leash, heavy duty
Size: Large(1/2"-6ft), Color: Black
Very good dog leash for heavy or big dogs. Not for the little guys. Be sure to keep it above their neck as to not choke them. Good training leash for walking large dogs or very strong puppies of a larger breed for training purposes. Walking everyday is so good for them and you! Helps keep them following you, walking on your side or while your , rollerblading, cycling .. Teaching relaxing ways to walk your dog, gently n not choking them by keeping it high behind their ears! The dog will love you. Watch Dog Whisperer on how to walk your dog safely n dog not pull n walk you! If your dog is really heavy, strong n big, get the strongest one. Be sure to keep their regular I’d collar on. This is not a replacement for a collar. Do not ever use this to tie up your dog, not safe. Just have a daily long walk with your pet dog. Mine is 45 lbs and walks wonderfully with me with this leash. No pulling, tugging or jerking. Note: can be chewed by puppies. Never leave them alone with leash on.
