Only Everything

“From the banalities of the corporate work machine to the devastating effects of random brutality, 'Only Everything' is raw, riveting, and relatable, and leaves a lasting impression, an indelible imprint, on the heart and psyche….” 
        — Sarah Beasley, author and columnist at Buddhist Door

“Tragic, triumphant, and at times painfully self-disclosing, Only Everything knowingly and lovingly kicks the rust off long-forgotten passion and questions whose urgency we’d often rather forget: What makes art stay? Can love and art exist without each other? What’s worth risking for the life you’d die to live? This exploration of the American Dream’s more disheveled and melancholy cousin, the Artist’s Dream, illuminates the humble, heartbreaking path of transformation.”     
        — Angela Raines, writer and consultant for The Art of Money

“A beautifully written story about a writer's journey, told with unvarnished truth about the stakes, the struggles, and the sacrifice that come with the impulse to bring something larger than yourself into the world.”
        — Ross Hostetter, author of Keepers of the Field.  

“A rare gift of literary honesty, a treasure box of a story where dreams are the hidden character on every page, inside a man who hasn’t earned the life he wants because he hasn’t yet accepted the life he has. With dazzling insight and masterful prose, Martin-Smith takes us deep into the riddle of the human life, and we emerge far better for it."
        — Robb Smith, CEO Integral Life

“Now more than ever we’re challenging our career and relationship choices, power, sexuality, and our fantasies around success… But when we tear down the stories that gave our lives comfort, we can get lost in the uncertainty. We get to join a man on the ride as each layer of himself is ripped away. I’d suggest you wear a helmet.”
        — Tripp Lanier, host of the New Man podcast
