WRITING FOR THE HEALTH OF IT is my working title for a book about the scientifically documented healing and preventive health benefits of different life writing modalities.
I like this
Is this book for the medical profession or for the rest of us average readers?

For me, your sentences if confusing. For example, what exactly do you mean by "different life writing modalities?"
Oh this title resonates with me. If it weren't for my writing I would be a basketcase. Writing is what saved me, I truly believe it.
I like the title. However, I agree with Karen. What do you mean by preventive health benefits of different life writing modalities? I understand the words but not the concept.
Like it
Wonderful title, and wonderful idea.
I am on the third draft of a novel about a tender young man's conflicts regarding his need for loving relationships and proving himself an able soldier during the American Civil War. My latest, and last I hope, title is "An Insatiable Thirst," which not only refers to his thirst for love but man's (or a nation's) insatiable thirst for war. As Michel Montaigne put it in his essays in 1588, "an insatiable thirst for [enjoying] a greedily desired subject"--where it be another person, wealth, land, power, whatever.
I like it but Insatiable is a tough word. I like a lot more once I read in conjunction with the epigraph. It doesn't, however, tell me that it's a Civil War novel. It's good, but there might still be a better title out there.
Two memoirs I'm working on, written from different perspectives:

"Nuclear Family" - a play on the idea of a happy, nuclear family of mom, dad, and 2.5 children. My work is about how one moment of domestic violence reverberates long after the the mother (the victim) and father (suicide) are long dead and buried; how the mushroom cloud of shame, loss, grief, and repeated patterns affect those that are left behind.

"Notes to Self" is the fifty-three year old Me writing to the seventeen, twenty, thirty, and forty-something Me who chronicled her life through journal writing.

Would love to hear reactions to the titles. This is a wonderful opportunity.
Like them! Especially Notes to Self.
I really like how the nuclear family title reflects the long-term affects of nuclear materials (domestic violence is much like nuclear fallout) as well as the concept of the "nuclear family"

also love the Notes to Self
