How it spread

Trace the origin

Housel expanded a Collaborative Fund essay into a book. Independent reviewers and podcast hosts discussed it, and sales persisted across markets. Harriman House reported 10 million copies in May 2026; its current page claims over that total.

Documented milestone; not a measured attention peak.
