I really enjoyed this audiobook for the most part, but I still feel like McConaughey is unaware of his privilege? It seems like he is a bit out of touch with the real world. Otherwise, it was very good. I loved how joyful he seemed retelling stories of his past and he has a really great sense of humor. The overall message of green lights vs yellow and red lights was very impactful and has changed the way I look at “setbacks”.

I didn’t know what to expect from a memoir by Matthew McConaughey, but this was quite the experience. There are moments that are difficult, like when he tries to write off his parents abusive relationship with each other, but there are tender and funny moments as well. I particularly love his stories about his travels and his reflections on his wife and kids.
