The problem with biographies is that they are generally just a succession of dates and events. In this case, on the other hand, Matthew has succeeded in recounting, in a way that is yes chronological, his life with personal reflections that can trigger good insights for introspection in the reader.

Maybe not a full 5 stars, but this book is definitely much better than expected. I don't think that being open with his own thought process make the actor arrogant, so I don't agree with some of the negative reviews, but maybe cutting a little bit on the philosophical stuff would have made the book an even tighter read, but is still very good. There is definitely more to Matthew McConaughey that meets the eye. Adding to this is the superb performance that the actor himself gives in the audiobook version. I listened to more than 100 audiobooks and this was absolutely one of the best performance I ever listened to.

Fun! And not too "preachy"/ "holier than thou"/ self-helpy. Fun stories, fun poems, interesting takes.
Listen to the audiobook!!! His voice is iconic after all + perfect storytelling for bus rides where you look out the window.
Hook 'em forever.
