The book has sold nearly 200,000 copies since it was first published in May 2001. The book is the first, miniature edition. There is also a second, larger volume now available containing 70% new material. In May 2004 (available now for pre-order) a special box kit of "Open Your Mind, Open Your Life" will be released including a polished and engraved fortune stone, wooden bookmark bearing a timeless thought of inspiration, and illustrated paperback booklet featuring excerpts from the original book.
Brief nuggets of Eastern wisdom from 20-something model and writer T. Gold are available in the tiny, well-designed Open Your Mind, Open Your Life:A Little Book of Eastern Wisdom. Most of the book's thoughts on happiness are Gold's own, interspersed with quotations from Nichiren, Confucius, Lao Tzu and Soka Gakkai leader Josei Toda.
