I second (third?) Robin's version. I would be much likelier to buy that version than the first one (if I wasn't already going to buy it regardless).
I particularly like the fuzzy transition between the red and blue. It looks fiery and draws the eye.
I think I'd make the font for "The Conscious pursuit of growth" a little lighter though, and maybe sink it down a little. It doesn't stand out as well as it could.

Quite a lot. Personally, I often buy books based on the blurb text and a quick look through. The books that I pick up
first in order to check the blurb are the more attractive covers.
