Show Notes

Go beyond the "alright, alright, alright" with Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey as he dives deep into his philosophy, career, and new book, Poems and Prayers. The star of Dallas Buyers Club shares his approach to living "the documentary of life" and avoiding the "proverbial hangover on the Monday morning of our life." In this revealing episode, McConaughey opens up about his belief that "laughter can be a prayer. Dance can be a prayer. Making love can be a prayer" and what he means by "selling Sunday morning like Saturday night," the unexpected lack of privacy that comes with fame, how winning an Oscar was a "peak" moment that affirmed his work, the extreme diet that led to him losing 47 pounds for a role, his non-conventional daily routine, including his key to getting 9.5 hours of sleep, and shares a poignant childhood story about lying to his father that still "wakes him up."
