    Sadly, it doesn’t sound like it has anything to do with pickles. Instead, it’s a guide to unlocking the potential of your own personal McConaissance, or “catching greenlights.” It’s titled—yes—Greenlights, and through “anecdotes, poetry, lessons, and yarns from his life,” it will presumably teach you to live life like a conventionally attractive and rich white man.
