Help! What should my book be titled?

Book_cover_v2

The one here is wrong but right general artwork (to be tidied  /amended) but big question - what's the best title? Free coffee galore for the winner!?

Thanks for all help...

Here's the draft copy going on the back..

"Full of kick ass coffee & life changing ideas”

‘For those working on laptops in coffee shops here’s everything you need to help bring your ideas to life”

An office is where you climb the corporate ladder.

A coffee shop is where you can change your life.

It’s where Harry Potter & Moshi Monsters were born, Obama’s first presidential speech was composed, many websites such as Craigslist & 4Square.com were built, where Picasso, Dylan & Sartre debated and where revolutions and movements have started.

It’s where author Chris Ward built businesses and raised millions for charity.

Learn everything you need from all their stories, todays smartest thinking and why a coffee shop really is the best place to work from.

Have any stories for Double Shot Debates & Book?

Hi,

Im completing a book; 'Wake Up & Smell The Coffee', to be published in April

You can view the very rough first draft of the book at http://bldw.co/WakeUpAndSmellTheCoffee, using the password 'coffee'.

I have previously sold commercial agencies I founded, raised millions for global charities and achieved international success marathon running and mountain bike racing - all through having a lifestyle and culture that involves working out of coffee shops instead of offices. This book is (meant to be!) an inspiring read and 'how to guide' about the rebirth of coffee shops as the creative and learning spaces of the 21st century & how to live a full life. My LinkedIn profile - uk.linkedin.com/in/chrisatcoffice.

The book is to be launched alongside the UK coffee week where I am hosting a week of high level public debates in London's best coffee houses.

Do you have any great stories on working out of coffee shops (or anywhere away from the office) where you have created or achieved something whilst not in the office - looking to include some in the book (with all links and promotion back to you)

With over half a million people actively involved, UK Coffee Week (22-28 April 2013) is the nation’s biggest celebration of coffee. http://www.ukcoffeeweek.com.The coffee industry unites to run a great week of events in the best artisan coffee shops while raising money for Project Waterfall, the charity delivering clean water projects in African coffee-growing countries. 

During the week I am running a series of high profile inspiring debates and conversations in the best coffee shops: The Double Shot Debates.

Utilising coffee shops for what in the 18th century they were best known for and are returning to - stimulating the best new life changing ideas and debate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny_University

I am currently putting the programme together and looking for great ideas for topics for debate and suggestions for the best speakers...

We want to cover a broad range of subjects from the best that the UK has to offer; from campaigning to consumerism, media to mobile, entertainers to entrepreneurs, creative leaders to business leaders. We are running 15 events, for audiences ranging from 40-200, many attendees being the opinion leading freelancers and creatives who use coffee shops for work and inspiration on a daily basis...

Please let us know if you are involved in any campaigns, releases, publications, UK vista around that time that we can consider?

Best,


Chris

Personalised Barclays debit cards - whoever thought up this or gets one deserves to be locked up! Barclays wasted money & valuable designers, creatives & advertising peoples lives and their customers time coming up with this rubbish. Meanwhile thousands of children die of starvation every day.
