Matthews’ fans are a mix of young and old, men and women, students, professionals and retirees. Among those in attendance at last week’s event was a grandmother who brought her 20-year old copy of “Being Happy” which he had asked Matthews to sign.

According to National Bookstore, more than six million copies of Matthews’ books have been sold worldwide, and have been translated in 35 languages.

“He is also a sought after speaker in companies and schools and has made over 3,000 radio and TV appearances on 4 continents,” said a statement from National Bookstore.

In the Philippines, Matthews’ books, shown above, are available only in National Bookstore.
