This is a copy of the July 1 Best Seller list from "The Straits Times," the English-language newspaper published in Singapore.  "WORK HAPPY: WHAT GREAT BOSSES KNOW" is enjoying a spot in the top ten!  In fact, this message came today from Hachette: "Wanted to let you know that our export edition of Work Happy is making its third appearance this week on the (Singapore) Straits Times best seller list." Third appearance!  I would love to know the story behind the book's popularity in Malaysia.  I had received a message a few weeks ago from a journalist in Singapore, an alum of a seminar, telling me the book was selling well.  I thought she was just being nice!  If you'd like to see what the "Straits Times" publication looks like, here's a link to its website. The "Straits Times" Facebook page says it is "Malaysia's most widely-read newspaper."  The Facebook page alone has nearly 54,000 "likes." By comparison, the "WORK HAPPY: WHAT GREAT BOSSES KNOW" Facebook page just broke the 450 "likes" mark.  Clearly, I should be reaching out to Malaysia.  Then I might find out from folks there why the book has developed its following.
