The Forest stage of growth isn’t chaos—it’s clarity under pressure.
Strength isn’t hitting the target. It’s observing without judgment.
Breath. Feet. Presence.
Power lives there.

What IS people pleasing, really? Martin Butler breaks it down...
It’s not just being nice — it’s a SURVIVAL STRATEGY.
Beneath the charm and flattery? Camouflage. Control.
People pleasers may seem harmless, but don’t be fooled...
“Beware the ones who get what they want by appearing not to want anything.”

A Minority Interest book by Martin Butler
Martin Butler introduces his book A Minority Interest, a guide to understanding yourself and the world. The title reflects the reality that only a few seek deeper knowledge—most are preoccupied with careers, news, or luck. But real power comes from self-awareness and understanding how life works.
Martin’s book explores profound ideas, including ten axioms about life and emotions. One key insight? Life is a self-optimizing machine—not created, but emerging naturally. By grasping these principles, we free ourselves from outdated beliefs and navigate change with confidence.
If you're someone who questions life beyond the surface, this book is for you. Ready to think differently?
