For the first time in Russian - one of the main book events of 2020, "Green Light" by the famous Matthew McConaughey (Oscar winner for the main male role in the film "Dallas Buyers Club", Rust Cole in the TV series "True Detective", Mickey Pearson in The Gentlemen by Guy Ritchie) is part illustrated autobiography, part textbook of life. Having become a star of romantic comedies at the turn of the century, McConaughey decided to reverse his fate and realize himself as a serious dramatic actor. He talks about what this decision cost him - and other life-changing decisions in his life: to go to Australia for a year after school, to change law school to film school, to live on wheels for three years, traveling from one film set to another on a car trailer in the company of a mongrel named Miss Hud, and most importantly - to earn the respect of his father ... So, the word is for the author: “For thirty-five years I have been comprehending, remembering, recognizing, collecting and writing down what admired me or helped me on my life path. How to be honest. How to avoid stress. How to enjoy life. How not to offend people. How not to be offended. How to be good. How to get what you want. How to find the meaning of life.
