I saw it prominently displayed in a leading bookstore in my country too. And note that my country is approximately halfway around the world, from where Steve is.

Making the book a bestseller wasn't my goal.

My specific intention for the book was: "Personal Development for Smart People is always available." This means that the book is always available for people to read, at least during my lifetime. My intention was to write a book that would endure, something that would be accessible to people for a very long time.

As for bestseller status, that might be a nice thing to have, but it wasn't that important to me. I focused my intention on what I wanted most, which was the longevity aspect of the book. I set this intention before I started writing the book.

Perhaps in a thousand years, it will have sold more copies than any other book in the history of literature. Since the principles are universal, I can see that happening. But becoming a "bestseller" right now isn't something to expect with a first book anyway. Steve says above what he expected and IMO that intention seems to be coming to fruition.

I just got my copy today and it was right next to Norman Vincent Peale's The Power of Positive Thinking. Both were faced forward with multiple copies behind them.
