I liked the title. It's funny and draws attention to the book. It's also good advice, if you think about it.

What did you feel when you read just the title, "If Life Stinks, Get Your Head Outta Your But's" What was the impact that it left?

It is, in my opinion, the best part of the book.

The title is very catchy. It makes me think that the book will be lighthearted, but blunt. However, I wonder if it could be considered a type of "click-bait".

I got very excited when I read the title, because I knew that the author probably did not care about whether or not he offended anybody. It seemed as if the author was so focused on giving practical advice, he did not seem to care about how blunt his language seemed to the average reader. I think it's important for an author to do this, because sometimes the only way we can really change for the better is if we confront some harsh truths about ourselves. As I read the book, I found that the author did just that; he confronted some harsh facts about negative thinking and he offered a positive solution in almost every chapter.

The title of the book impacted me in a negative way. First, I think it was a bit harsh - I don't think its that easy for a lot of people. I also do not like crude humor, the title was a bit of a turnoff for me.

There are multiple ways to take this title. This book is not for the faint of heart, being that this book points out that you are the cause of all your problems. This title will either make you intrigued and motivate you or it will make you turn away and look for help elsewhere.

Honestly, I usually wouldn't like a title this long but this one really made me want the pick the book up and read it. It also gave a pretty good indication of what was to be expected in the book.

It did what the title of a book is supposed to do-- grab your attention!! Some readers might have been amused by the title or found it offensive or weird, but it got their attention all the same!!

At my first glance of the title, I actually thought it said "butts" and didn't like the phrase. After looking closer at it and reading the sample and the reviews, it is a title that draws attention to not making any more excuses in life as to why we are not succeeding.

I like the title it explains what this book is about.
Sometimes we are really stuck in questions like
What if?
But

The title itself is motivation enough to make anyone think critically about his/her present situation. From it, I figured that the author meant business and was willing to tell readers the painful truth.

While I enjoyed the book's review and the sample I read, I found the title off-putting. I understand it's meant to be a clever play on words, but in this case, I think the title may be more of a turn-off than an attraction. If I weren't a reviewer, based on the title, I wouldn't select the book.

I think that the title is a really catchy one, and personally, that's half the battle won when it comes to getting someone to pick up the book!

It's catchy. It tells you exactly what you are going to get. But I could see how some people could find that offensive. I didn't. It made me want to read the book.
