On Today's Episode:
What if the key to success and happiness you imagine is totally wrong? Maybe you think success is to be chased and happiness will happen when you finally arrive at the destination you set out for years ago.
Matthew McConaughey, the Academy-Award winning actor and New York Times bestselling author of the incredible book about his approach to life, Greenlights, is sharing his wisdom, revelations, and lessons on what's been true for him in the pursuit of happiness and levels of success most only dream of.
Achieving success and happiness in your life requires you to learn how to hold competing ideas at the same time. It's knowing when to go all in and go hard for what you envision and what gives you joy and energy. It's also knowing when to step back and appreciate where you are on your journey because those moments matter and they keep you grounded.
Matthew has created a free virtual event, The Art of Livin, to help others get the results they're looking for in pursuit of happiness and success. In this conversation he reveals to Tom why the vision he often chased was rarely what he thought it would be when he started the pursuit.
Check out Matthew's Free Virtual Live Event April 24th: http://tomlivin.com/
QUOTES:
'The headline I chase is always different than I thought it would be when I got there.'
'I got more results when I got obsessed with the process than I did when I was chasing results.'
'We have to start admitting more, not judging, [...] let's admit the lies that we tell ourselves, let's admit the lies that we believe the world tells us.'
'The more truly selfish we are to serve ourselves, the more we can serve others.'
'Commitment to get obsessed with making something work is a wonderful freedom.'

Unrelated to the video but Matt and Christian Bale look a lot alike in the thumbnail picture of him with his hair and beard like that.

Yeah, Matthew's book is unbelievable lol Was anybody else waiting for a smart reply from MC?
@blueicer101 Says:
In reguards to the icarus story, I think it's safe to say that the story still makes sense as humans tend to walk, but we rarely try to fly. But the moral is that flying is great but we shouldn't pretend we have the wings created by god or deserve to get too close to the gods. The gods made our mind which is a powerful tool, enough to create wings and we should do as humans do but the wisdom is to not try to be anything more than a human.
@blueicer101 Says:
I like to think as human beings we are inherently selfish and only when we embrace that consciously, we can fulfill ourselves using delayed gratification and therefore have an excess that our subconscious is "happy" with so we can not only be consciously generous but subconsciously aswell as we tend to overvalue our thinking and decision making skills versus undervaluing out subconscious brain which craves things.

I'd really like to hear Jordan Peterson quoted less. He's misguided in a lot of ways, and it takes away from this podcast when I'm constantly hearing him quoted. Thanks.

@DianeInnovAID Says:
Icarus was warned to fly the middle area. If he flew too high the wax would melt from the heat of the sun. If he flew too low he would gather too much moisture and would become too heavy to fly. We always forget about the second part.

Matthew is a pretty cool dude. I listened to his book and loved it! In Maslow ‘s hierarchy of needs he is at the top of the triangle. Self actualization is where he is right now and we all benefit because of his wisdom and that he enjoys teaching and sharing.
@sorrowheart8732 Says:
I got caught up in Matt's promise of profundity and insight when he went on his youtube book tour promo. I was so intrigued, i bought his book. Initially i was excited and was impressed with his experience, insight, wisdom, unique perspective etc..... But i found myself souring the more a got through his book and actually just gave up reading half way through...... I came to believe that he was almost like a cult leader, fake guru..... And his use of beautiful combination of words, and 50% wise observations......... it seemed he promised he was going to bring the goods and i ended up feeling like a sucker who gave money to a con man/ scam artist. An actor, who's star had fallen, who had run out of ways to make big easy money. Green lights, was just like a cutesy gimmick, with no substance, no profound wisdom. Matt seems to believe it's ok to lie, cheat, scam, false advertise, steal, assault, make up stories, and the truth doesn't matter as long as you tell a good story. What a shmuck. I stopped reading half way through his book, and felt like i was just a sucker who got glamored by a shiny lure. So, for all people thinking about buying his book, if you buy it, don't expect anything profound or true, just read it like a fairy tale that may or may not be worth reading. If anything, read the book to gain insights on how a scam artist thinks. I stopped reading his book with a bad taste in my mouth thinking "Matt saw people like me as a mark, and i was duped"

This is such a beautiful discussion. After listening to Red Lights and participating in The Art of Livin, I just can’t seem to get enough of Matthew McCoughneheys wisdom. This is so nice to hear even more versions and examples of “the Art Of Livin” thank you for being a teacher and serving people who want to learn to be our best selves in this life. 🙏🏻

Love Mathew! He goes so deep
I get so much from him ❤️🙌🏻

It’s so disturbing when I hear people I know that are already worth 20 million say they need 40 million…. It’s a horrible way to live
@JLY518 Says:
In my 49 years I feel like the journey IS the goal . I know a lot of wealthy people who are constantly chasing something they are never going to find . There are people in mansions right now bored out of their minds who have fake friends and hire prostitutes . Money should never be the goal . Take care of your body and eliminate the things that cause you stress . Humans are inherently flawed . Getting the money , the house , the nice cars ,and the 2 kids is a very small part of the big picture. The faster people understand this the more beautiful life is .

celebrity narcissism 😂
@surfwriter8461 Says:
Just curious: Do you ever go beyond the most superficial and cliched of pseudo-spiritual and self-help chatter? It's both sad and annoying to hear the topic of self-actualization dumbed down to this with a guy who is pretending to be more advanced and dispensing such drivel, now that he's intoxicated with the role of a celebrity guru who is simply full of himself. Gee, maybe this is all a kind of performance art where the actor is portraying himself as a faux guru who doesn't know he's full of crap but gets millions to follow him down the rabbit hole. Brilliant. By the way, Tom, "ought" and "should" mean the same thing. Choosing to replace one with the other is not the turning point that leads to enlightenment.

I love this man. He is a male version of me, but he's worked out how to make peace with his flaws. What an education. I will honour this podcast by striving to be so self-accepting ❤
@lnoelleconsulting Says:
It would be great to have Matthew and Russel Brand on your Podcast, together. I feel like they are both creating movements rooted in purpose, truth, self-development, integrity, etc. Thank you Tom.
@brentpeddy4223 Says:
Tom!! I think I can speak for all of us, we miss this kind of content from you! No one else has filled this gaping hole of an awesome interviewer like you who has quality guests and a host that actually researches and asks great questions. Please return to this!
