What does it take to distill 36 years worth of diaries into a best-selling memoir?
If you're Matthew McConaughey, 52 days in the desert with no electricity.
And in this video, we'll look at what Matthew McConaughey really did when he was out in the desert for all of those 52 days.
We'll talk about how he collected notes throughout his life and then how he turned those notes into a best-selling memoir called Greenlights.
All right, all right, all right, all right.
How did note-taking turn him into a successful published author and a global superstar?
I'll be honest, I try to avoid books that are written by celebrities.
Most of them are ghost-written, and they're usually so vanilla that they just aren't interesting.
But Greenlights is an exception.
The book is filled with soul, firstly, because McConaughey actually wrote it, but second is because of his unique writing process.
