Have you ever been tempted to write an autobiography?
“Instead, if you’ve got this cool story that needs to be told, consider turning it inside out. In other words, don’t focus on your personal story – focus on the principles for living that come out of your story. Don’t just use the book to tell what happened – use the book to share the principles for living you’ve learned, and use your story to illustrate those principles. ”
