The concept of North and Destination seemed to be the main subject, and I think I was surprised by my conclusions on the value of the journey versus the destination.

If you're not familiar with apostrophe, it is a rhetorical device of addressing an imaginary audience.

The Solomon Principle is a form of apostrophe that arises from seeking wisdom above all else, and with this practice, you today, begin a dialogue with you fifty years from today. For my youngest listeners, you could even imagine yourself sixty or seventy years from today.

Your goal is to imagine who you will be near the end of your life, when the majority of your accomplishments are behind you, the lion's share of your failures and mistakes are overcome, and all you have left is to share what you've learned with anyone willing to listen.

At the same time, you--who you are today--must embody the role of keen listener, seeker of wisdom, humble student.

Something I find exciting about this practice is that by its very structure, it enables you to overcome the obstacles inherent in taking advice.

Is AMMO Write For You?

If you’re an author with a handful of books published (or you’ve published nonfiction and have one book with a great program to help clients), AMMO is unlike any other program on the market. You’re going to have to work the program to find success, and bestseller status likely won’t hit in weeks of joining the program, but for many authors, AMMO is the beginning of a lucrative career that puts books first.

The Surface’s End is where I started, and it’s a fun ride described thusly.

“Near the edge of Jonah Whitfield's small farming village lies the Deathlands – a strange desert in the middle of a lush, green landscape. It is strictly forbidden. Jonah often lingers at the border of the Deathlands out of curiosity, hunting wild game where no one else feels safe. When he follows a wounded deer into the desolate expanse, he stumbles upon a hatch to a futuristic underground society. After setting eyes on a beautiful girl whose only wish is to see the surface, Jonah is determined to free her from a prison made of comfort and lies. Will he rescue her, or will he find himself trapped mere miles away from the life he has taken for granted?”
