On The Table Read Magazine, “the best book magazine in the UK“, in Surf the Seesaw: Unconventional Essays on Balance, Beauty, and Meaning in Life, Scott A. Davis shares powerful truths about human nature to help find the meaning of life.
Surf The Seesaw
Business leader, tech founder and adventurer Scott Davis shares engaging stories from his existence off the beaten path in his enlightening new book, Surf the Seesaw: Unconventional Essays on Balance, Beauty, and Meaning in Life. Each story reveals powerful truths about human nature, relationships, decision-making, parenting and the ever-pondered topic: the meaning of life.
I would say that I wrote the book with my children and grandchildren in mind. With the idea of sharing a few handfuls of key concepts that when properly understood can transform a human lifetime into something spectacular — something with so many positive consequences that the universe’s norm of entropy will have a hard time erasing the evidence of the person’s existence.
-Scott Davis

Scott A. Davis
Scott Davis’ adult life has followed an explorer’s wandering path: corporate leader, tech entrepreneur, adventurer, inventor and essayist. Ignoring industry expectations, Davis walked away from the executive suite to pursue a life off the beaten path, ultimately selling everything and heading off to sea in an old sailboat.
Returning to the states at 50, Davis patented innovations in boatbuilding and founded a company to help sailors fulfill their dreams of building their own sailboats.
Today, Davis spends much of his time writing and speaking on how to create a meaningful life, guiding friends and family on adventures, teaching boatbuilding, and occasionally making something interesting in his workshop.
