What do you think about the Title?

[Lily Caramel]

The title would probably be far more effective if it was HOW TO WIN THE WAR ON CANCER. That would immediately make it personal. However, there is no 'WAR' on Cancer, any more than there's a 'WAR' on drugs, or alcohol or immigrants. That word "WAR', it's a red flag, isn't it? Far better the word HEALING. And if the words healing or curing (or any synonyms thereof) are not in the title, why on earth would anyone want to buy the book? Who cares about more "WAR' when there are more positive things to achieve in life?

At first, I thought it was inspirational like we can beat this thing. I thought it was positive, but after reading your post, I'm having second thoughts. My commiserations.

At first glance I thought it was a life story about someone and their fight with cancer. Reading the summary though changed my opinion of the title. I love the hope that her wording brings, but at the same time I do see why this could be a controversial title. There are so many that fight and lose this battle. Hopefully one day we can share the authors sentiments.

Ahhh that is true. This is such a fresh and new perspective to ponder. Indeed, why say "War" when it could be healing. I guess what the author meant of "war" is not the scientific aspect of the cure and disease but also about the legal procedures in pharmaceuticals. I think, as what the book also showed, it's a "war" between the big companies who are trying to silence the natural traditional side in order to gain more money. Thanks for this insight though!

Thank you for taking my thoughts into consideration!

I have not lost any loved ones directly to cancer, however I have had several family members with cancer, and I would say the title is fitting for the book. It is a constant battle between cancer patients and Big Pharma medications or treatments. If there is a way to win against these companies, I think it’s a positive are for this book to be confident in the title to say winning vs trying to win or some other alternative.

Honestly, I didn't think much of the title until you said something but it also could have been called "Fighting The War on Cancer" perhaps.

Thanks for putting my thoughts into consideration. Yes, I do agree that sounds good enough than the current one.

Cancer does not always turn out as a "Win", but I feel like the title gives hope that researchers, patients, and doctors are continuing the battle against cancer.

"Winning the war" is a catchy term that grabs the audience's attention and certainly makes a strong impact. However, to me, it sounds a little bit... vindictive.

But it's still appropriate though, as the book focuses on the research and medicine aspects, not the personal stories.

The topic sends a wrong message to the layman... Seeing it made it seem as though cancer has been defeated or eradicated. The title ought to have been something along the line of surviving cancer or war against cancer... I for one don't think people want to read a book that isn't telling them the reality of things from its title.

Interesting comments on this post ... I didn't realise that the book was actually about the author's father's legal battle with Pharmaceutical companies (who legally oppose natural alternative cures that are competing with their drugs on the market). The word 'war' is still inappropriate ... how about "Challenging Cancer and Winning" (although I do not know if anyone did win/ achieve anything and if it will feature in this book). The main point is that the title should give a real indication of the content - in a positive way so that it induces customers to purchase and read it.

First of all i didn’t read the book yet but title of the book says in my point of view that no one in this world sent by The God without any reason... Every moment of all creation of God is fully planned by The God...

But, ah, the book also includes the personal stories of the author, including her father. I do agree that it is quite vindictive.

Yes! That would've been a great title! Thanks for voicing out!
