'A delightful surprise, full of stories that been shared on late night talk shows or made headlines over the years. it is both calming and laugh, laugh, laugh-out-loud funny.' - Hugh Hewitt, The Washington Post 'Matthew McConaughey's book is exactly what we needed after the frenzy of Campaign 2020.

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. Getting away withs, getting caughts, and getting wets while trying to dance between the raindrops. Graces, truths, and beauties of brutality.

This is fifty years of my sights and seens, felts and figured-outs, cools and shamefuls. 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. 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.' 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. Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. 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.
