内容简介

奥斯卡影帝、《星际穿越》《达拉斯买家俱乐部》主演马修•麦康纳首部自传，一个斯多葛主义者的传奇人生。

保持与自我对话，分辨真正重要的事物，把一切阻碍转化为机遇，这就是马修的“绿灯”哲学。

马修·麦康纳出生在一个父母随时会吵架，下一秒又如胶似漆的奇葩家庭。

十八岁，在澳大利亚一个怪异寄宿家庭做了一年交换生，从此成为素食主义者。

二十多岁作为演员出道，同时改装了一辆一九九六年产GMC萨瓦纳厢式货车，开始从加拿大到危地马拉的公路浪游，穿越美国四十八个州。

两次因为一个梦，义无反顾前往梦中的亚马孙河和非洲大陆，摒弃一切社会身份，体验人作为独立个体的原始状态。

在演艺事业蒸蒸日上时，拒绝不感兴趣的浪漫喜剧片约，放弃一千四百五十万美元片酬，长达半年颗粒无收，只为表达彻底转型的决心，接拍真正想拍的电影。

四十三岁，出演《达拉斯买家俱乐部》，为演好一位艾滋病患者，五个月减重二十二公斤，以精湛演技荣膺奥斯卡影帝。

五十岁，去往得克萨斯州的原始沙漠，离群索居五十二天，在彻底的孤绝中写下这本《绿灯》。

他相信先利己才能利他。认为在严格的纪律和深沉的爱中，人才能懂得尊重、责任、创造力、勇气、坚毅、公正、服务、幽默和冒险精神。人要始终保持与自我的对话，才能敏锐、果决地找到真正重要的事物，把一切障碍变为机会，并且前进、坚持、不停歇。这就是马修·麦康纳的“绿灯”哲学。

Content introduction

The first autobiography of Matthew McConaughey, the Oscar-winning star of Interstellar and Dallas Buyers Club, is the legendary life of a Stoic.

Keep talking to yourself, distinguish what is really important, and turn any obstacles into opportunities, this is Matthew's "green light" philosophy.

Matthew McConaughey was born into a weird family where his parents could fight at any moment, and then fight at the next.

At the age of 18, he became a vegetarian after spending a year as an exchange student with a weird host family in Australia.

Starting out as an actor in his 20s, he also modified a 1996 GMC Savannah van and embarked on a road trip from Canada to Guatemala, traversing 48 U.S. states.

Twice because of a dream, he went to the Amazon River and the African continent in his dream without hesitation, abandoned all social identities, and experienced the original state of human beings as independent individuals.

When his acting career was flourishing, he refused to accept romantic comedies that he was not interested in, gave up his salary of $14.5 million, and did not receive any revenue for half a year, only to express his determination to completely transform and take on films that he really wanted to make.

Forty-three years old, acting in "Dallas Buyers Club", in order to play a good AIDS patient, five months to lose 22 kilograms, with superb acting won the Oscar for best actor.

At the age of fifty, he went to the pristine desert of Texas, lived alone for fifty-two days, and wrote this Green Light in complete isolation.

He believes that self-interest comes first. He believes that in strict discipline and deep love, people can learn respect, responsibility, creativity, courage, perseverance, justice, service, humor and adventure. People must always maintain a dialogue with themselves, in order to find the really important things with sensitivity and determination, to turn all obstacles into opportunities, and to move forward, persevere, and never stop. This is Matthew McConaughey's "green light" philosophy.
