Book Title

I was talking with Elizabeth about the topic of rewards versus efforts, which is one of the topics I'm thinking to include in a slowly forming book concept. I mentioned to her that I was thinking to put this into a book and she asked what the title might be.

I don't know what it'll be, but I bet it'll follow the formula and be called something like "Thing: A long phrase describing the contents."

Well, my comment won't be as insightful as those other comments posted so far (I mean, who knew they actually made phones with *cameras* in them these days? and come to think of it, you probably do have Crohn's Disease...). But sounds like an interesting book idea...is it fiction? non-fiction? self-improvement? or ? And I think the title is great as is. ;)

I deleted the blog comment spam. :)

While I'm pretty well enamored of the "Thing" title, it wouldn't really let on to what's inside.

I'm thinking it would be non-fiction, self-help/productivity oriented. My tentative title following the same template is "Toolbox: Methods for analyzing value in work and life."

That probably needs some work.

Sounds like a good concept. Lots of education/leadership programs use those types of books as supporting text. I've probably read a dozen of them and they're all helpful. You'd probably have a bit of a different slant on some things, too, considering your background.

I see someone beat me to the punch on suggesting actually using "Thing: A long phrase describing the contents" as the title.

*sigh*
