Matthew McConaughey Is Launching a Weekly Newsletter to Share Personal ‘Truths and Inspirations’

On Friday, Dec. 27, the Oscar winner, 55, announced he is starting a new weekly newsletter called Lyrics of Livin’, described as “a collection of thought-provoking notes, tips, truths and inspirations he’s gathered over decades of life.”

The newsletter will launch Friday, Jan. 3, with new installments weekly on Fridays, delivered to subscribers’ inboxes for free. The star will also read each newsletter for those interested in audio versions.

“I’ve journaled and scribbled down good times, bad times, turn-offs and turn-ons for more than four decades now, and as you may know, many of those journal entries were what inspired my book Greenlights,” McConaughey, who published his bestselling memoir in 2020, said in a statement.

“Which got me thinking, what if I didn’t wait 40 more years to share my thoughts, prescribes, tips, truths and inspirations: Things I’ve seen, said, stole and heard along my way that can help us find more Greenlights in our life and put a little rhyme to our reason,” he added.

Of the newsletter, he explained, “Think of it as five minutes with McConaughey as you end your week and head into your weekend. You can read it yourself or listen to me read it for you. It’s yours if you want it, easy.”

McConaughey added that he chose to release the weekly newsletter on Friday afternoons because Friday has “always been my favorite day of the week.”

“A true parlay day, the first half of Friday’s about responsibility and WORK, and the second half is about freedom and PLAY — and Friday also comes with a 48-hour runway — before we get back to Monday,” he wrote.
