Actor Matthew McConaughey shares life lessons in "Greenlights"

This week has been all about Hollywood and literature intersecting.

But today we’re not sharing a book that’s going to the movies — we’re, instead, sharing the reverse.

Actor Matthew McConaughey, reports Literary Hub, is writing what might be described as a combination of a self-help book and memoir.

Or, in the words of its blurb: "It’s a love letter. To life. It’s also a guide to catching more greenlights — and to realizing that the yellows and reds eventually turn green too."

Greenlights comes out on October 20 and is available for preorder.
