Austin’s Minister of Culture and Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey has written a book, but don’t expect it to be a traditional memoir or celebrity advice book. It is going to be a “playbook” based on his life’s adventures.
In a statement, McConaughey said the book will focus around, “Adventures that have been significant, enlightening, and funny, sometimes because they were meant to be but mostly because they didn’t try to be.”
According to publisher Crown McConaughey will draw upon a diary he has kept for 35 years.
“He found not only stories, questions, truths, and affirmations, but also a reliable theme,” Crown announced. “From growing up as an adventurous kid in a tough-love Texas home of rule breakers, to revelatory journeys to Australia, Peru, and Mali, to his early days in Hollywood and meteoric rise to fame, McConaughey shares how his life experiences have instilled in him the importance of competent values, the power of new experiences, and, as he puts it, ‘either changing your reality or changing how you see it.'”
The book will be titled “Greenlights” and will be on sale on October 20th.
