Though the title look offensive, the life implication is what I love most. The book is what people should love to read, in that it tells alot in the ears of those who love readings. The title grab the eye when one sees it. The eyes sent impulse that hold attention and interest when you start to read. It is alright.

In fact, I find the implication that your life will be great if you simply believe in yourself or have fewer doubts misleading. Sometimes life just stinks--whether you believe in yourself or not.

I completely agree with this - sometimes you cannot solve a problem, and I resented the implication that everything can be cured by one's mindset. I also found the title click-baity and childish too; toilet humor is not something I want in my 30s.

I don't intend to read this, but I will say that I still adore the title; I love books with funny/pun-ish or interesting titles.

The title convey the overall meaning of a book.
If the book is designed to answer life's question, the title will reveal what the book is about to unveil.

If the book is about adventure, the title will serve as introductory piece, before going into the adventure.

I definitely chuckled at the title of this one, and have only just started reading it, but I do like the author's play on words with this one.

For me it's straightforwrd and blunt, if someone told that to me personally I would think that he is a no-nonsense person . So I think this is direct, frank, straight-to-the-point kind of book

I thought the title was great and a humorous play on the words. Effective at catching a reader's attention, not easily bypassed.

The title is appropriate as its meant to elicit the prospective reader's attention which it does quite well. Additionally, it reflects the forthrightness of the author's writing style.

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?

To be honest, I thought it was another one of those self-help books that teach you how to live your life. but by reading the reviews I get that it is not.

I like the title, it feels both funny and like a slap on the face. The title is meant to catch the readers attention, and without a doubt, "If life stinks get your head outta your buts" accomplishes that, if you want a better life, YOU have to work for it, I guess it's not only funny, it also carries a big meaning.

I liked the cover but not so much the title. I think it's a good book for those that like to read self-help novels. I don't think that the book is for me because I don't usually read this kind of story.

The title is important. But aside from the title, another thing to give of equal importance is the book's opening sentence. Most of the greatest books known have really good opening sentences, phrases, or paragraphs. It's needed to catch the reader's attention.

Title actually conveys the overall ideas of the book. So there will be different titles with different gener of books. From a book title, I should be able to guess right its genre.

The title of this book made me feel like this book was something that I definitely wanted to read. It sounded like a book that would make one stand up and take responsibility for one's self.
