From the Academy Awardwinning 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.

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.
