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.
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.
Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries. 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. 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.'
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. This is fifty years of my sights and seens, felts and figured-outs, cools and shamefuls. Graces, truths, and beauties of brutality. Getting away withs, getting caughts, and getting wets while trying to dance between the raindrops.
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.
It's a love letter. To life.
It's also a guide to catching more greenlights-and to realising that the yellows and reds eventually turn green too.
Good luck.
##遠行故事和主創幕後挺好看的,就是這寫作風格太成功學瞭。一堆名言警句,無意義排比,還有好多qq簽名式人生格言什麼Be less impressed, be more involved之類。過多自我陶醉。 來自硬核的德州傢庭,從小自信又專注。齣道不久名利雙收,轉行轉型每一步都成功,走上演藝巔峰,寫本書也能暢銷。人生贏傢一路的確豐富多彩,但是講真大傢隻是read for fun,沒人想從你的自傳中學會如何成功。

評分##Audible 有聲書,一定要聽!
評分##我竟然聽瞭八個小時也無法在腦內復刻齣他的口音
評分##讀得最快的一本自傳,配閤著朗讀版,雖然後麵部分加瞭倍速聽,但一點點沒影響馬修聲音的魅力,他根本就是在繪聲繪色地念颱詞啊,天哪太贊瞭。沒想到是一本爽的自傳故事書!絕對值得讀,一定要配閤audio,增色不少。
評分##開頭強烈patriotic and patriarch 白美國人味 想成為爹那裏開始強烈爹味
評分##Genuine personal stories unexpectedly lead to a deep faith proclaiming. Wise and touchy-feely. Mathew’s own vocal performance must be better than text only. I enjoyed it a lot. Thanks to Audible.
