Tim and John,

Everytime someone wins a bid on the Mona Lisa Million (my new project) I’ll set aside 5% of the (after tax and fees) proceeds to you.

This isn’t money for you to replace your sunglasses and hats with. This will be so that you can get some of your 1 million books printed and distributed. Not sunglasses. Not hats. Books. Got it?

Seriously though. This is a massive challenge for you and I wish you every success.

Cheers
Dave.

@ Farouk – Yep, I have had that too!

@ Ben Thanks a lot mate.

@ Erin – The sense is in the value not the price. And yes there is a formula although it will be different for each person.

Hi I read the sample chapters, I liked them, I liked how I was reading about someone not information being shoved at me. I hope the book contains a formula or how to since that is what we are looking for. I can tell you, please forgive it’s not any kind of jab at you, but I’ve never paid $47 let alone $97 for a book of any kind unless it was an antique first edition of a favorite book. An ebook at this price has never made sense to me unless it comes with something more. You mentioned in your blog a book giveaway, you wanted to get it into the hands of people who need it, sure I could share my story and probably get a free copy but I wouldn’t lay my issues out for anyone to get something free and I know I haven’t seen anything saying that’s how you want to give away, just saying. Those people that need better get a free copy quick because the people you mentioned that need it won’t be able to afford to buy it which is the case with most books-bound or electronic. I wish you the best of luck with your launch, as I said what I did read I enjoyed and I’m sure you’ll be successful.

I can’t believe someone asked for their money back after only 24hrs. Ridiclous.

The book is awesome. Looking forward to finishing it but I’m taking my time

I really love the book! It has some great practical advice for how to be rich and happy. (Of course!)

I particularly love the chapter about “Star in Comedies Not Dramas” as I usually laugh at almost everything that goes wrong in my life. For example, the other night, was at the movies and I spilled my huge drink of punch and the popcorn I had just bought. I thought it quite amusing. As one of my friends says, when life gives you lemons, make champagne.

I also found the chapter about Failing Fast to be particularly interesting. I have gone through a significant of failure in the last few months but I have never lost faith in myself and I have looked at these failures as fabulous learning opportunities. It was very helpful to be reminded that there are a lot of people who have had tremendous success – and tremendous failure.

Every chapter is filled with golden nuggets like “Rich & Happy Minutes,” “My Rich & Happy Calendar,” and the “Rich & Happy Matrix.” I will incorporate several of these concepts right away.

I think it is incredibly exciting that you guys are going to give away a million copies of the book.

That’s a great way to change the world!

@ Giulietta – I undersrand what you’re saying and I alluded to the fact I have no idea what his personal circumstances are and could be way off the mark. Having said that, it’s very tricky writing a blog like this without ever judging anything!

@ Ben – Yeh a cash bath would be nice wouldn’t it? It’d make a great photo to upload to Twitter too!

@ Chris – My wife seems to think he may be 28 and it was effectively his last shot. But I’m damn sure Fox would have found a way of bending the rules to allow him back next year and get a load of positive publicity into the bargain.

@ Iain – Great point that I hadn’t considered. This guy is a personal trainer, is built like a brick shit house and never misses an opportunity to flex his biceps. Maybe in his world it’s a bit too wussy to being going glassy-eyed over the arrival of his daughter.

@ Si – I had to read that about 5 times before I *got it*
