Feels like lots of the titles people suggest here are for some sort of quirky paperback self-help bestseller. You want to be one of those weighty, widely discussed New York Times bestsellers. These seem to me like the kind of titles you want to emulate:

  • Thinking, Fast and Slow
  • Brainstorms
  • Brainchildren
  • How the Mind Works
  • The Emperor's New Mind
  • Metamagical Themas
  • Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid

Titles that others have used in the past that I don't recommend:

  • How to Write, Think and Speak Correctly :)
