Greenlights | Matthew McConaughey

Summary: What Is a Greenlight? “This is a book about how to catch more YESs in a world of NOs and how to recognize when a NO might actually be a YES. This is a book about catching green lights and realizing that the yellow and the reds eventually turn green.”

Gush Sesh: This book is a lot of fun, even better in audio.  His voice is so enjoyable.  I really enjoyed learning more about his life and experiences.  He has a very positive embrace life philosophy!

The Irish Cowboy is a st. He gave his word, refused to break a vow, and lost his one chance at true love.

Gush Sesh: This book is very relevant to America today.  The main character stays true to his beliefs and commitments.  Such love and sacrifice in this book.  I highly recommend.
