Lucy,
I caught up with Sally in London early this morning, and she, like me, has gone all-in on Tuesday's Stay Whole: Matthew McConaughey talks 'Greenlights' on The Tim Ferris Show.
Here are a few other nuggets that resonate with me in a BIG way from the show:
My favorite poem, The Road Not Taken - Robert Frost. Always reminds me of Dr. Scott Peck and The Road Less Traveled.
Why has The Greatest Salesman in the World by Og Mandino had such an impact on Matthew, and how did he serendipitously happened upon it while studying to be a lawyer? [18:06]
Matthew’s 10 goals in life circa 1992, and what he was doing then. [26:52]
What did Matthew mean specifically with goal number five: be an egotistical utilitarian? [31:45] "That's what Jesus was up to!"
Take more risks. Why? [33:42]
What misconceptions does the world have about Matthew that he’d like to clear up? [1:21:30] Great stuff here on what Emily and I used to refer to as hard preparation, easy battle.
Hope you take some time to listen.
Love,
Dad
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
