It means that you have the will power to make your life as it stinky as it is or you do something out of your comfort zone and explore to learn better things to make your life less stingy or even better.
Great! Even if how many lessons we read from other people we are still responsible of our actions. We are old enough to know the right and wrong, but why life is not always as you wanted.😜

For me, the title is very important! The more lucrative the title is, the more is the chance that the readers will choose it. It gives a brief information about what the book is about. Therefore, the title should be the best one!

I think it's a thought-provoking title which in itself is a great marketing technique. On the other side of that coin, I find it cliche and off-putting because it sounds like I'm being scolded and blamed for everything about life that I'm not happy with.

I think the title takes away from the book itself. It's a cute book that has a good message, but the title is annoying.

Without title, either written at the beginning or somewhere within the writeup, it will illuminate the reader on what the book is all about even in one word

I think the title attracts the readers because when you normally look at a book, you see the title or the cover first. It gives the readers their first impression if the book is going to be good or bad. If the title isn’t as interesting, chances are that readers won’t be as interested to read it. It has a crucial importance in the whole book.

I think the title draws readers to pick up the book and read a little bit of the book to see what it's about. I also think its an interesting title and personally, it piqued my interest and made me want to read the book.

The title is harsh but tells it the way it is. I felt like it spoke to me and made me want to read the book more.

The title was funny yet offensive. But I think the book matches with it perfectly!

I think the title is safe explanatory but it is also strong that it can make someone depressed before reading it.

The half-pun in the title caught me off guard enough that I did a double take, and the title stuck in my head as a result. While clever, it's also gimmicky - which tells me some effort was put into marketing, but not much more than that.

I found the title to be intriguing. The wording is really strong which caught me off guard for a moment but left me curious about the book. After reading the book, I felt as though it was a good title choice, as it sets the correct tone of the book. If the title is offensive to you, then the book likely will be too.

The title caught my attention. I haven't read the book yet, but the title is what made me interested and read reviews on the book. I figured it would be about working on not always finding the "but" in life.

To be honest, the title came across as a bit childish; not in a bad way, but in a sort of frank and genuine approach. While some people may not like that, to me it conveyed that there's a lot to learn and that it won't be sugarcoated. I wouldn't say that it interested me, but it did set the tone and is very memorable.
