New book. Questioning of Views. Out in May 2026. Five proposed covers. Is there one you prefer?
I have recently completed a new book titled QUESTIONING OF VIEWS (360 pages, book size 22.86 cm by 15.24 cm, 9 inches by 6 inches.
Below you will see five proposed covers. See content of back jacket for some of the themes in the 32 chapters.
The book addresses a range of major issues, personal, social, political and global.
In these troubling times, we might feel overwhelmed with the torrent of opinions in circulation.
The text points to ending this unrest and sometimes suffering over amount of input..
We can go beyond daily onslaught of opinions, misinformation, fake news, echo chambers, lies, deceptions, and distortions of reality.
Let us not become mind weary.
Title Tweak Tuesday 14 April
Stephen F, senior Dharma teacher in Israel, kindly sent me a suggestion - to make a modest change to book title. Title is now QUESTIONING OUR VIEWS instead of Questioning of Views. New title fits in with theme and tone of the book.
Extract from the book. Instagram has two billion active users and TikTok has 1.99 billion users. Without a specific purpose, many engage daily in doomscrolling - a daily addiction to looking at negative and distressing content of endless 10 second video clips. This leads to low moods, anxiety and lack of self-worth.
A request with two motivations
To let you know: a new book will come out in May 2026. We can go deeper into a subject through reading a book. A UK poll reported that 40% of the public had not read a book in the past year.
We (Jude, designer/coordinator and I) created four proposed covers, plus another suggested by Nshorna (my daughter). Please choose one cover which you find most suitable for Questioning of Views.
Let us explore and know a depth of clarity and insights showing a wise response to what we face in daily life.
Book cover 1. Bell
Book Cover 2. Night Sky
Book Cover 3 The Eye
Book Cover 4. Head and Shoulders statue
Book Cover 5. Classic Style
I published several books independently in recent years making them available with Amazon worldwide and Lulu Publishers. All book title etc were printed on white cover. Some covers above will provide a book cover for some of these books to be reprinted.
An invite for one response. Please send over Book Cover and number/description by midnight (UK time), Friday 17 April 2026.
See Leave a comment or Message Christopher Titmuss below to write your preference.
I will let you know the outcome next week.
Thank you.

THANK YOU. We appreciate your responses. Nominations have come in for all five covers. Professional book cover designers are expensive so we use primarily Canva for books, leaflets, flyers, posters etc. If you see online or in a bookshop, a cover or two of a non-fiction book you really like, do send over a photo. email. thebuddhawallah@gmail.com.
