Publisher's Summary

Lizards Eat Butterflies unveils David Martin’s deepest passion about how we’re living on this planet and how we could do so much more to improve our experience with a shift in perspective. In a triumph of cutting-edge science, social commentary, and deeply personal life experience, he shows us that, with an alteration in perspective, that which stands in the way of our humanity is an illusion that can be eradicated. 

Far from being a 12-step program - this is the un-program in 12 sections - Lizards Eat Butterflies deconstructs the myths that trap us into victimhood, isolation, and futility. Having traveled the world for three decades of work and with the worldwide film success of Future Dreaming, along with many lectures and workshops, he weaves the narrative of this book to create a tapestry of provoking, thoughtful, and considered reexaminations of our dominant myths and perspective impairments. Lizards is a practical conversation starter to defuse the explosive challenges of inadequacy, indifference, and apathy.

Not for me

I found it utterly pointless. I understand everyone wants to use their life story in a work like this. But this is self obsessed. And he hates scientific method, but gives no alternative way of thinking or even hints about other paradigms.

Re-framing party extraordinaire

The narrative here finds itself implied through a cavalcade of questions and re-framing of assumptions. I personally got the hard copy to assist in absorbing the play of perspectives offered.

David dances a jig of rug pulling and lamp rubbing with his words but not without showing myriad opportunities to share in the giving of middle fingers to petrified notions of self help and pathological versions of certainty.

Between the lines is deep field of sincere inquiry into the circumstances and conditions that we all allow to limit us and that also invites us to sling shot our selves into our next fuller and freer self.

Pull the bow back and let David show you how to let go of the string.

Break free from Self Help and victimization

I dislike that here we are 2 years into a plandemic and more than half the world has yet to hear the voice of a man with this much wisdom and insight.
I love chapter 11 , ‘who are you really ?’I believe it’s entitled .
