Wondering About the $7,000 Happiness Project Calendar?

I’ve heard from many people who have tried to buy the Happiness Project Page-a-Day calendar—only to see it listed for astonishing prices. Yes, it’s listed for $7,055.00 on Amazon. Crazy!

Here’s the situation. The calendar was selling for $15, but it sold out. Once online retailers ran out of stock, third parties who saw unmet demand began to push up the price. That’s why those prices are so outrageous.

Workman, publisher of the calendar, reports that Barnes & Noble stores (not online, actual stores) do have stock, so if you want to buy a calendar, try there. Workman is also checking on other possible sources of stock, and I’ll report back if I hear anymore about that.

Courtesy of Workman, I myself have eleven calendars, and one calendar is all I need. I’m going to give away my ten extra copies—$70,000 value! Hah.

If you’d like to be eligible, email me your name and mailing address at gretchenrubin1@gretchenrubin.com sometime in the next 48 hours. I’ll choose ten names at random and mail a calendar to you. (U.S. and Canada only.)
