About this listen

 From the Academy Award-winning actor and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Greenlights comes an inspiring, faith-filled, and often hilarious collection of personal poetry and prayers about navigating the rodeo of life and chasing down the original dream, belief.

My prayers are my poems are my prayers.

I've always relied on logic to make sense of myself and the world.

A prescriptionist at heart, I've always looked to reason to find the rhyme, the practical to get to the mystical, the choreography to find the dance, the proof to get to the truth, and reality to get to the dream.

I've been finding that tougher to do lately. It's more than hard to know what to believe in; it's hard to believe.

But I don't want to quit believing, and I don't want to stop believing in . . . humanity, you, myself, our potential.

I think it's time for us to flip the script on what's historically been our means of making sense, and instead open our aperture to enchantment and look to faith, belief, and dreams for our reality.

Let's sing more than we might make sense, believe in more than the world can conclude, get more impressed with the wow instead of the how, let inspiration interrupt our appointments, dream our way to reality, serve some soul food to our hungry heads, put proof on the shelf for a season, and rhyme our way to reason.

Forget logic, certainty, owning, or making a start-up company of it; let's go beyond what we can merely imagine, and believe, in the poetry of life.©2025 Matthew McConaughey Entertainment & Celebrities Entertainment & Performing Arts Film & TV Dream Funny Heartfelt Witty

Critic reviews

Praise for Greenlights
Brilliant
A rollicking, contemplative trip
Gloriously bonkers
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)
A wild ride through his memories
McConaughey's own story is arguably more interesting than any character he has embodied on the silver screen over the decades
Both calming and laugh, laugh, laugh-out-loud funny
Delightfully voicey
All stars

I really enjoyed this book .it is filled with inspiration,wisdom some sadness and humour!It is read beautifully by the author with feeling and humour.I don’t think another narrator could catch or convey the depth of feeling that has been written into this book.The authors accent makes the narration. Its like he’s talking to the listener and not just narrating.He brings you into his memories and when he questions certain issues in life and faith .It created deep thought and realisations about my faith and day to day living.About the way i perceive myself and the way I treat myself and others .At times I roared with laughter!I thoroughly recommend this book.What a treat! Thankyou Mathew McConaughey!🫶Warning though,there are a couple of swear words but it’s not disrespectful or shocking.

very inspiring and enjoyable!😀🙏
