We are considering changing the name of my book to something less science-y and technical sounding
What do you think of…?

Subtitle is very grifty infomercial, immediately makes me doubt the integrity of the book. I think "Building a Second Brain" has a nicer meter than "The Power of a Second Brain" FWIW.
Agree with Andy and most of the other comments. Sounds way too grifty. The name “building a second brain” was what attracted me to your work to begin with. Build is a very important verb in the name IMO. I’m certain that this subtitle would have repelled me. Title sounds academic

How would you explain the success of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up?

a) it probably works on people who aren't as sensitized to grifty language!
b) it's intentionally twee, so I don't take the language literally… feels more like someone saying "maaagic" with sparkles coming out of their fingers than a TED Talk power pose
