It's my understanding that Dr. Deepak Chopra was the first to do this with his
"7 Laws For Successful Parenting" (or something to that effect). It was a
squel to one of his earlier successful works, and was hosted by the THRIVE

It was his idea to do it and the book publishers agreed. I'm sure it boosted
his sales of that and other books along with his good will and that of the
publishers.
