This book was actually a good read. I normally don't read biographies, but was told this was a good one. It's very funny and it has some good advice/outlook on life. The audible is better since it's actually Mathew McConaughey talking, which makes it funnier lol highly recommend!

First audiobook that I’ve DNF’d. Mathew’s memoir comes off as a wisdom filled monk giving change room game day pep talks. And if I have to hear Mathew say “note to self” one more time, it will be too soon.

I really enjoyed this very entertaining read. A very interesting account of Mathews’ life and career.
We started watching some of his films as he described the background to getting them made
Fascinating

Definitely worth listening to on Audible, especially since the author narrates the book. I found it easy to follow and relatable at various points.

Great on audio. Don't think I would have liked it nearly as well had I read it.
