Matthew is one of Hollywood's most sought-after leading men. He's an Academy Award, Golden Globe, and Screen Actors Guild award-winning actor who has appeared in over 40 feature films that have grossed over a billion dollars. Through his 50-year journey, Mathew’s learned how to turn life's challenges into a state of happiness and success, which he calls Greenlights. That is also the name of his #1 New York Times bestselling book. Greenlights shares how we can use our tough experiences as a springboard to greatness.

His upcoming Greenlights: Your Journal, Your Journey (Dec 7th, 2021) is a guided companion to his bestselling memoir, filled with prompts, wisdom, and advice on how to live with greater satisfaction.

Matthew has been writing in journals since he was fifteen years old. His adventures have taken him from Texas to Australia, from Mali to Peru—and he has chronicled them all. In this authentic, unconventional journal, Mathew encourages you to go inside: remember, reflect, and also go outside and enjoy adventures, take risks, and dream big.

Dr. Friedman and Matthew dive into the stories chronicled in his memoir, ranging from his parent's marriage, pivoting his career in Hollywood, and how he maintains his effervescent attitude in the public eye.
