The Happiness of Pursuit Is a NYT Bestseller! (Because of you!)

15267697571_ed451fff36_z

Yep yep, it’s true… because of our great readers, The Happiness of Pursuit debuted at #3 on the New York Times bestseller list this weekend.

I’m so excited! Debuting on the list is harder than ever these days because paperback, hardcover, and ebooks are all combined into “one list to rule them all.” The same non-fiction list includes books about dieting, money, pregnancy, lifestyle, and a wealth of other topics. In other words, it’s a tough crowd to compete against.

But we did it, and I’m grateful. Thank you, everyone!

 

If you haven’t picked up the book yet, you can do so from Amazon or your favorite local bookseller.

Two Small Requests

1. If you’ve read the book, will you do me a favor and leave a quick review on the Amazon listing page? (Scroll down to where it says “Write a customer review.”)

You don’t have to write a long review … just share a few brief thoughts so that others can see. And of course, you can say anything you’d like.

2. I often say that I get paid in nice emails and blog posts. If you like the book, will you please tell your friends?

Everything we’ve achieved here has always been because of the small army of remarkable people. I’d love to know what you think about the ideas in the book, as well as the general concepts of quests and adventure.

This week I’ll be in Houston, Austin, Naperville (Chicago area), Milwaukee, and Denver.

I hope to see some of you on the road! We’ll also be adding more tour dates very soon.

Thank you again. I’m extremely grateful!
