You can copyright books but not book titles. So, theoretically, I could title my book To Kill a Mockingbird, or Gone with the Wind. And I would get exactly 0 readers.

But titles do make a difference. Research shows that good ones get a second look. A reader might peer at the promotional copy on the book’s cover or, better still, peek inside to see the Forward or Table of Contents.

So I need help. Following are some ideas. I need you to scan these and respond with the two or three you like. Also, you can suggest something original—you know, something really cool: Pride, Prejudice and Retirement; The Time Traveler’s Retirement; The Retirement Whisperer? (See why I need your help.)

Here they are:
1. It Takes a Dream: Discovering the Secret to a Happy Retirement

2. It Takes a Dream: The Key to a Happy Retirement Is Not in Your Bank

3. It Takes a Dream: Why the Key to a Happy Retirement Is Not in Your Bank

4. It Takes a Dream: The Key to a Happy Retirement Will Cost You Nothing

5. The Secret to a Happy Retirement, Hint: It’s Not More Money

6. How to Make Your Retirement Dreams Come True

8. It’s Not Too Late to Make Your Retirement Dreams Come True

9.The Best Is Yet to Be: Discovering the Secret of a Creative, Happy Retirement

10. The Best Is Yet To Be: How to Have a Happy, Creative Retirement

11. Retire Retirement. And Live Your Dream!!
