The url that Don gave:

http://www.psychologicalscience.org/observer/getArticle.cfm?id=1546

does work, but wrapping made it difficult to use.

Try this instead: http://tinyurl.com/yp7nno

When you go there, you find that the answer is that Myers'  $1M donation  
did come from royalties from his books. It's to be used "to enhance the 
teaching and public understanding of psychological science".
 
An impressive gesture. Wouldn't it be nice if it caught on with other 
authors?
