Publisher’s Summary

The debut picture book by Academy Award-winning actor and #1 New York Times bestselling author Matthew McConaughey—adapted for audio

Just because I’m in the race,
doesn’t mean I’m fully ready.
Just because I’m shaking,
doesn’t mean that I’m not steady.

Have you ever felt worried and excited at the same time?

Have you ever had your feelings hurt but forgiven someone anyway?

Have you ever thought there was more than one right answer to a question?

That’s because contradictions are all around us. And they make us who we are.

Filled with his trademark humor and wisdom, Academy Award–winning actor and #1 New York Times bestselling author Matthew McConaughey has crafted a soulful and irreverent collection of life lessons that empowers readers, big and small, to celebrate how we are all full of possibility.

Why? Just because.

5/5 stars — “Just Because… It’s Matthew…”
I have this book 5 stars because I trust Matthew McConaughey’s words of advice. He’s more than just a movie star, He’s someone who cares.

4/5 stars — “Because”
Short to point the on how to reflect on other and life. Just let go

— Debra, Audible listener

5/5 stars — “Realness “
This book was real, things we know already but didn’t think about. No matter what age group this was intended for it really hits home. In my life currently this was an eye opener! It made sense! It helped! I really love the realness!!!!!
