A Not Quite as Bad Book Cover

This book cover is not nearly as bad as the bad book cover in the previous post, but I think there is still something a little wrong. We learned all about color theory in this class. What does red and yellow make you think of? Relaxation? Not for me. This book, which I read many years ago, is about transcendental meditation (TM). TM is marketed for anyone, not just the spiritual, to reduce stress and thrive. I would expect some more relaxing colors. Maybe aqua or something like that. Just about anything but red and yellow. And the thing with the yellow is that the "updated and expanded" thing becomes the focal point by its contrast with the red. Shouldn't the title be the focal point? That's my two cents about the matter.
