I appreciate the feedback and the spirit in which it was offered.

Of course, I have felt 'stuck' and 'in a rut.' I am a writer.
Yet, when I have been in that state, it is because a transformation(s) or change(s) is/are needed or forthcoming.
I would say the words you chose did not resonate with me. BUT, that is me. Remember, I did state IMO.

L., I understand your loyalty to your title. I know a lot of sweat equity has got you to this point.
Here I am essentially an interloper, telling you that perhaps the title could be better or 'tighter.' I would feel guarded as well.

I just read "FLIP" How to Turn Everything You Know on Its Head - and Succeed Beyond Your Wildest Imagings
http://www.storeoborealis.com/shopping/books/non_fiction/Flip+-+Sheahan,+Peter+9780061558955.htm

Look at other titles of books similar to yours. Go to the bookstore and really note what titles JUMP OUT at you and command YOUR attention. Apply that information/research to your book.

You have a lot of information in your book's description. Sheahan's book title in some way resembles yours:
'BREAK OUT!" yada yada yada....

Yet, Sheahan makes a seductive (lure) statement below the bold word (FLIP). My suggestion(s) to you were 'lure types' to induce a reader to look-in- the-book.

Dude, your book has less than 15 seconds to grab a potential readers attention (front and back cover), INDUCE that person pick it up and explore your title & marketing statements aka known as cover copy!
A self-help book title should not be a mystery. The remedy should (and better)
JUMP OUT! (BREAK OUT! 7 SIMPLE STEPS...)

I mentioned seven steps because you, L., claim to provide seven steps to do it in. People naturally lean towards something that is time efficient ("Just 7 steps?! Wow, I can do that") AND appears easy.

L., again, IMO

You've never felt "stuck" or "in a rut"? I ask because, I am not sure the words resonate with a person when they are not in that state.

This is the other working title I've been playing with.

"Break Out! Your Complete Guide to Getting Unstuck"

If you don't mind me asking...
What's your initial reaction to this title?

Thanks for the feedback.
