Another great book is over as of this Father's Day (2021, 20 June). I really loved the quotes from this book. Normally I am a big fan of biographies and autobiographies and this book was a good example of why I love this type of books. In short, they make me learn from other people's experiences. Do you also like to learn from others' mistakes and take-aways, then you should have a look at this book.
From the Academy Award®–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.
Introduction
This
is a playbook, based on adventures in my life. Adventures that have been significant,
enlightening, and funny, sometimes because they were meant to be but mostly
because they didn’t try to be. I’m an optimist by nature, and humor has been
one of my great teachers. It has helped me deal with pain, loss, and lack of
trust. I’m not perfect; no, I step in shit all the time and recognize it when I
do. I’ve just learned how to scrape it off my boots and carry on.
