Bought the book the other day - cannot wait for the weekend to read :) Who doesn't love Matthew McConaughey! Talk about discipline, 36 years of journalism!

[@louisea6109]

Handsome and one of the best actors...and a nice personality 👑

[@agentsmith7866]

He better be the one reading the audiobook or I'm returning it.

[@Cocacabanabudgets]

ugh I wish I would have known he was reading the audio book - maybe I will get that too just to hear it in his voice!

@@Cocacabanabudgets As I read the book I can 100% say I will be putting on his reading of the book as a shower listen when I finish the book.

Wonderful interview! It’s nice to step away from politics, illness, and people being so unkind with their comments and opinions for a moment. Thank you GMA.

Another great actor that kept daily journals his whole life was Richard Burton, starting from when he was just a child. I got the book, "The Richard Burton Diaries". It's almost a daily, monthly and then yearly account of his life in every aspect of his professional and personal life from Richard's own words through his diaries. This book, unlike Mathew's book, are the actual excerpts from his diary, word for word, in chronological order. It was a fascinating read, loved it!

If he runs for governor of Texas, I'm voting for Chad Prathers campaign and he's from Georgia. At least I know where he stands when the line is drawn.

If this were a memoir, I would put juicy things from my own life. I guess the biggest thing nobody knows about me is I'm a deeply closeted gay man.

There’s just one way to the pearly gate to the crown of life and the the friends who wait. Tis that old cross road and the way called strait, there’s just one way to the pearly gate. “There’s Only One Provider” Christ is coming back for His church only. “church of Christ.” (MATTHEW 7:13-14; MATTHEW 16:18; ROMANS 16:16; EPHESIANS 4:4-6) All others are on the road to perdition!

Guy telling us to be happy with who we are. Guy was losing his hair in the early 2,000's so had a hair transplant. Bet he wouldn/t be writing a book like that had he been half bald now

[@bayanipastrana9778]

Lol he’s in the entertainment industry it’s a business expense

[@boogiestreet594]

@@bayanipastrana9778 expense? no, i's a man telling us to be happy, no matter who we are, or what we look like, be happy. a man who didn't like what he looked like and wasn't happy with HIMself, so he must have paid thousands of dollars for a fantastic hair stransplant. And just so you know. the pattern of baldness he was having in the late 90's was geting quite bad, he'd be a full top bald guy now how he not been getting transplants and top up transplants every coupe of years o stop what happened to Wayne Rooney from hapening. So what i'm saying is. All the young guys out there in the world who just couldn't be happy as they were going bald and girls were notivcing when he's only 20 etc who comitted suicide because of it, and you can be sure there have been maybe thousands of guys who had this tragic end because of something cruel that happens randomly in nature. Do you think if the read his book they wouldn't have done i? I bet you had they had millions of dollars like him nad prevented themselves from going bald in their teens with expensive hair transplabts they might still be with us! hes a hypocrite.
