Why Saw Sawdust?: Ancient Wisdom, Modern Mindfulness and the Freedom to Begin Again

Discover a Revolutionary Approach to Mindfulness That Goes Beyond Meditation
What if everything you thought you knew about personal growth was just the first peak in an endless mountain range?
In this groundbreaking guide to mindfulness and consciousness, Sir SeaBeaux McMasters weaves ancient wisdom with cutting-edge neuroscience, personal transformation with practical application, and spiritual insight with real-world results. Drawing from over 100 books studied across traditions from Alan Watts and Neville Goddard to Sadhguru and Joe Dispenza McMasters delivers a fresh perspective on timeless truths.
You’ll discover:
- How your gut and heart function as independent ＂brains＂ with distinct intelligence
- The ＂Why Saw Sawdust?＂ principle that stops you from wasting energy on what’s already broken
- Why life is a mountain range, not a single peak, and how this insight transforms everything
- Practical techniques for managing difficult emotions without suppression or overwhelm
- How mindfulness enhances creativity, relationships, work performance, and physical health
- The balance between manifestation and presence, effort and surrender
- Self-compassion practices that accelerate growth instead of enabling stagnation
This isn’t another book telling you to ＂just breathe.＂
McMasters brings a rare combination of credentials: licensed therapist, successful entrepreneur, intensive meditation practitioner, and someone who’s experienced both spectacular success and devastating failure. His journey from a manila folder of success principles to federal prison to exponential business growth provides hard-won wisdom you won’t find in academic texts.
Whether you’re new to mindfulness or a seasoned practitioner, this book offers fresh insights and practical tools for living with greater presence, purpose, and peace. The mountain range continues, make each peak count.
