![]() Like Matthew in Greenlights, Colin Jost had to go through a lot to become the person he is today. Now I am going to review 5 biographical books similar to Greenlights. I’m a big fan of autobiographies and memoirs because it’s so much fun to learn about the life of people we find interesting. With that, there are a lot of small stories and big stories that lead to different levels in becoming a man coming into adulthood in various aspects of life. Greenlights is about a pilgrimage into manhood and Matthew’s own experience. 5 Books Like Greenlights (Celebrity’s Memoir) If you want to read books like Greenlights, keep reading.

Though this book is titled Greenlights, you can read with yellow light and proceed with caution. ![]() ![]() Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey has a lot of great wisdom and experience. ![]()
