What is Greenlights <\/em>by Matthew McConaughey about? What inspired McConaughey to write the book?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Are Greenlights? Matthew McConaughey’s Philosophy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As you head into Matthew\u2019s story, you\u2019ll better understand his thought process and personal lingo if you first understand his signature concepts of inevitability, relativity,<\/em> and greenlights<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inevitability and Relativity<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInevitability\u201d refers to inescapable facts: the non-negotiable realities that life hands you, such as your parents, place of birth, and events beyond your choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRelativity\u201d refers to a person’s choices in response to the inevitable facts in their life. Freedom comes from your ability to \u201cget relative with the inevitable\u201d (one of Matthew\u2019s favorite ways of phrasing it) by choosing your responses and attitudes to inevitable things. In Matthew\u2019s thinking, all of life is an interaction between the inevitable and the relative. The choices you make in response to the inevitable add up to the story of your life. These philosophies guided Matthew when he wrote this book. It presents the story of his first five decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greenlights<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The book\u2019s other guiding concept is the idea of \u201cgreenlights.\u201d These look and feel like health, prosperity, and success. Or a greenlight could be a sense of rightness, inspiration, or well being. When you receive a greenlight\u2014you get the job, you receive the insight, you meet the person of your dreams\u2014it\u2019s a sign that your life is on the right path<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can get better at \u201ccatching\u201d greenlights. You do this by identifying your red lights (see below) and then changing your course to avoid them. You can also \u201cearn\u201d greenlights through skillful living. And you can catch them through good timing, good luck, intuition, karma<\/a>, and pure fate. Although you often stumble into green lights through sheer luck, you can get better at catching them through skillful living (practicing relativity toward the inevitable).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also catch more greenlights by identifying and dealing properly with red or yellow lights. These show up as detours, interruptions, illnesses, and sometimes full-blown failure. We don\u2019t like yellow and red lights, but sometimes we recognize later that they were exactly what we needed in a given situation, because they eventually led us to a greenlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In dealing with a red light, you have three choices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Push and persist against the barrier.<\/li>
  2. Pivot to approach the barrier differently (swerving to catch a greenlight as described above).<\/li>
  3. Surrender and accept the full stop.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The Art of Living<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    According to Matthew McConaughey, greenlights are connected to inevitability and relativity. The art of living is to understand how and when to either persist, pivot, or surrender whenever you receive an inevitable red light. <\/strong>Matthew sees his lifelong practice of using intuition and intelligence to deal with the inevitable as the very key to his success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A Guide to The Book<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    In the book, the parts take you from Matthew\u2019s early years growing up in rural Texas to his experiences as an exchange student in Australia, a film school student at the University of Texas, a green young actor in Dazed in Confused<\/em>, a rising star in Hollywood, a traveler in Europe, a pilgrim to Peru, a seeker in Mali, and a family man who returned to Texas, The book traces the three intertwined topics of his movie career, his quest to become his real self, and his lifelong search for love and fatherhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Our summary covers a different era in Matthew\u2019s life, and each begins with a distillation of the lessons he learned during that period. Each part\u2019s biographical account then illustrates those lessons in various ways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
