60 Responses to Option A
School puts some people off so it's not attractive verbage
this makes me feel like I am going to get something out of it.
I think that A is better. I like that it is more concise but almost literally says the same thing. I would Definitely prefer A because of its brevity.
This one is shorter and more straight-forward in my opinion. It sticks out to me.
Option A is a much more engaging choice because the word Living is large and bold and grabs your attention while the other option is rather passive.
"school" makes it sound very structured and I don't like that. I also prefer the shorter tag line of option A
i just want a good kickstart, a way to begin and learn the basics
I think the title is easier to relate to, doesn't make it seem like a school lesson.
This title I feel is more fitting for a book.
School of is not as enticing as how to start. Being direct is key and enjoy the wording of A much more than B but it really isn't that big of a deal.
I chose A because it explains How to start living intentionally. It is clear and concise. Much preferable.
Being out of school, I prefer the how to language instead. School makes me think of a classroom setting that I don't want.
I don't really like the idea of having the title associated with a school an option B, that's why I chose option A.
I like the practical nature of A and find that it does a better job emphasizing that the material in the book will be practical and accessible for everyday life.
I prefer A as it is more what I expect a title to sound like.
B got me. I don't want to go back to school! I want to read a book and not feel like I'm enrolling in classes to learn how to break away.
School in the title of B makes it seem like it will be a chore. The 'how to start...' title makes it seem more like a ground level starting point for getting things going. The subtitle of B would go very well with the title of A too
I chose A because of the phrase "a real-world approach", which implied a practical, "how to" book.
I like how simple the title is.
The title is more intriguing than the other one.
This is more clear.
I like the title of option A. The use of the word start is inviting. Also the sub-title is appealing with the real world phrase.
Actually I like the Title of A but the subtitle of B. The title of A describes the book better than B, but I think the subtitle of B explains the book better than A. I chose A because the main title is the main attention grabber.
I think the title has an implied action in it and you know immediately what you are going to learn and how it might happen.
The other one has too many lines - 2 is better compared to 3
It would talk about the real world more.
It sounds more interesting and appealing.
It sounds more hands on approach to independence
I like how to instead of school. Nobody likes school
less wording but more descriptive
seems more useful, and a how to type guide would be more beneficial for someone trying to do this.
The other seems too wordy. I like the simple yet effective title and subtitle of A
I like Option A the best because it shows what the author is writing about while being less wordy than Option B. Also, a "how-to" book sounds more appealing and attention grabbing to the reader than the "the school of..."
This is more of a direct call to action - I think the word school in B could scare off potential readers
This title is more appealing to me. It makes it sound more like it gives you techniques to start using immediately.
cleaner, brighter, sharper
I really like both book titles. But I have to go with A for this one. I really think the title is catchy and straightforward. The subtitle also mixes really well and sounds great. A great all around book title.
I prefer the "how to" reference since I feel like the other option of "school" makes it feel too academic.
i think this description is more catchy and i would be more inclined to read it
It is more clear and concise.
The School Of adds too many words to the cover. And then the bottom phrase adds a lot of words too. It's too busy.
I think being direct is better. A tells you "How to Start" and I like that much more than going to school and having to learn.
I liked the titles roughly equally, but the subtitle in A is more concise and clear about the book's objectives.
A is concise and the formatting makes it easier to read. "How to start" is more engaging than "the school," since the book isn't really a school or a program.
I'm immediately drawn to the subtitle. Three lines is too many to read for a quick pass. Stick with two.
THe subtitle is shorter and more to the point. I would not spend the time to read a long subtitle like in the other one.
the overall title and subtitle make more sense to me overall
I like the title of A better. It has a more appealing ring to it. I don't think I would pick up a book that was the "School Of..." anything. However, I like the blurb at the bottom of B better because I want to be successful and if that is what breaking away from the herd means, I'm all for it. I think your best bet is to combine the best of both.
I think A is the better title/subtitle combo. The title is very firm in letting the reader know this is a self-help book. The subtitle provides context to the content of the book. I think everything works well here in sending a clear message to the reader.
The choice I picked has a cleaner more streamlined look and read.
I chose option A because I felt the wording on the cover was more appealing. The wording on Option B made it seem like a lot more work, specifically the word "School" and the phrase "your own definition". I actually like the larger elephant on Option B better, but the wording on A, like "How to start", "Real-wrld approach" feel like the book is offering more effective information, rather than only guiding me toward something that I need to work out on my own. Finally, I feel that the title is the ultimate decider, "Living Intentionally" is a lot better than "Intentional Living".
A- has better wording and is more recognizable on what its about because of the wording.B- The wording makes it feel like it will take a long time to learn what the books teaching and makes it feel like there are multiple books.
"How to Start" is much more interesting to me because it seems to be more practical and applicable to everyday life. The other title is not a straight-forward and could be more philosophical in its approach, which would be less intriguing to me.
First of all its more appealing and lot less clutter . I can take a quick look , easily read and understand the title and subtitle without that much effort. I also can visually understand what the book is about faster. Also the meaning between school and start is big difference . for a self help book start now is better while school sounds like a textbook and boring. The subtitle in choice A clear and precise makes you think about it and keeps you curious.
I like option A much better but it seems as though it is muted and not as bright and popping like option B. I would make the elephant the same size as option B and also brighten it up.
Option A is a much better title because it appeals to my desire. Option B uses the word "school". I don't want to think about "school" when reading a book. Thank you!
It was straight and to the point. The tone makes it sound academic and useful. Not a self help book.
A just seemed more exciting. B seemed boring and sounded like any other self help book.
This subtitle is best because it accurately matches the illustration and is a clever and witty way to convey the thoughts of the book title as a whole.
I like Option A the best because the assumption from the Title and Subtitle is that I am taking the initiative to live intentionally and will take an active part in doing so. Option B makes me feel like a student and will passively learn how to do so.

even though the subtitle is a bit long to read, its nicer because it tells you more as to what the book is about. although i think i like the title in A slightly better on the other option, i think i like this subtitle much more.
this title is more interesting to me
I prefer the text for option B. Option A seems like a typical title while B is more unique. I think its important for the title to be unique considering how the subject is about breaking away and being special.
I voted for B because I liked the subtitle text more than option A. Option A's mention of "breaking away from the herd" didn't really explain what it meant. I was left pondering exactly what it might mean. I felt Option A's further description of "pursuing your own definition of success" helped to clarify and drew me in to want to know more. Option A would make me want to take it off the shelf and read more.
The font from book B captures the viewers attention.
I like the title B. Title A is seemed overly used but title B sounds unique to me.
I prefer "The School of Intentional Living" as it seems that it is a good, structured way to learn. That is a good choice here and think it will be well received. I am happy to see this book on the shelves and would love to pick it up as the topic of breaking away from the herd seems very applicable in today's fast paced world.
B is empowering.
A just lacks that "oomf". B makes it seem like you're about to learn something, and that what you're doing is unique, special, and written just for you.
This one sounds more unique. There are already to many how-to books.
I like the subtitle for B the most because it defines the purpose of the book the most, it has more detail.
I like Choice B because the subtitle sounded much more relevant to what I'd be looking for out of a book like that. I also liked the graphics better as they seemed more eye catching. Specifically the elephant being larger and the title being bigger.
I like the idea of a "school". Makes me eager to read it.
Although I like both titles, the second title seems more authoritative and knowledgeable, and a bit more clear about what it is teaching.
I like option B the most because I think tile is appealing ..
I believe that B gives a little more insight about what they mean by "breaking away from the herd" with it's subtitle
choice B has a more centered text in the front book cover.
I like the play on words for this book title....the word "school" can be used as "herd", and the title corresponds well to each other in the title and subtitle. It can be also used as a word for thought, and would work very well in that context in the title as well.
Shows you intentionally live with the wording order
I like option B the best because I love the sub title that says Break free from the herd and pursue your own defintion of Success. That sentiment is exactly how I feel and immediately makes me love it. I would buy it for sure.
I like how the sub-title part in terms of "break free" implies an action to take and how the title itself is more direct and less wordy compared to Option A.
This title is appealing and the tag line underneath seems more actionable.
i like more what this one says, then the another
The subtitle makes it more personal with the line pursue your own definition of success
I voted for B because it seemed more professional a look like something out of the 80s or 90s I would gravitate towards be for sure..
Choice B avoids the "How To" title, but either one seems like a good option and I absolutely love the concept of the book. If I had to choose I'd go with Choice B but both are probably fine.
I prefer the phrasing of "The School Of" compared to "How to Start" because it comes across as educational. The contrast of the animal is darker and more vibrant as well. Lastly, the phrase of break free from the herd and pursue your own definition of success can connect to most folks.
because it provides me an opportunity to think out of the box to get succeed.
It gives me a better idea of what the objective of the book is. I don’t like prose and would rather have the bottom line up front.
I like it because it is more descriptive. For A, breaking away from the heard could have more meanings.
I like the extra description on the book jacket. I also think the title flows better...can't really say why other than when I read it out loud it sounds better. The elephant is cool looking - if the book does n't sell they could sell elephant art.
This one seems less like an instruction manual and more like a narrative guide on how to be successful.
I hate "How To" books and I will not read them.
I like b because it is too the point more about the scope of the product and uses more blunt wording which I like.
I like title A better but subtitle B is much more meaningful about what this book is intending.
These are both pretty good.B: The top phrase on B "The School of" is eye catching and interesting, it draws my eye down towards the "Intentional living" part."Intentional living" is a very direct and simple phrase, it's easy to read and quickly understand what's being communicated.A: There's something odd about the word "Intentionally" it's got too many syllables and it's a little harder to say it in my head as im reading the title. It's also not immediately clear what this book is going to be about. "The School of" tells me it's a book about learning something but "How to start" makes me think of other boring self-help books.
Much more attention grabbing and doesn't sound like a self help book. Plus it sounds more interesting and intriguing which tends to draw me in at the least.
It feels more academic. The other feels like a "self-help" title.
I am more drawn to "School of Intentional Living", it's offering me some some information and I can master it. I feel like I am living with intention, or trying to at least. "How to Start...." seems almost like it's talking down to me. The bit below the elephant is like better in the one I chose to, I am drawn to pursuing my own definition of success. The other one uses "Real-World Approach" is a meaningless intensifier with these self help books. It's obvious the reader's trying to help himself in the real world, not in a video game.
The title is eye catching and draws me in which is a great start, but the subtitle does a really good job of exciting me and making me want to read and purchase option B. Break free and success really stand out and grab my attention.
