I like the way you write.... but the title is really bad and the covers all look AI generated and too generic. Here are some nuggets you can use
Title: why not leverage your growing brand "Disruptive Horizons" and flip it to an imperative "Disrupt Your Horizons: bla bla bla bla" . the title needs to either be the coinage of a term (i.e. the "sovereign individual") or very unique. There are very few titles that manage to become iconic with bland titles.
cover: none of them look like anything. It's like a midjourney slop of digital nomad icons.
one or two symbols that deeply relate to the content. In your case, a FLAG could be something that brings suspese to the new reader and resonance with your existing readers.
your previous book had a good cover because it was dense in meaning and had no noise. "Winning outside the board".
just a thought.
The title is the hardest part of the book
Feel free to reach out if you want to go poke the brain a bit deeper
As I wrote in the article, “if the experience of my first book is any indication, the title resonates more in French than in English, so the English version of the book will probably have a title that is not a literal translation.”
Similarly, the cover of my first book is very different in its English version, much more minimalist:
Your challenge is to convey global freedom without seeming like Lonely Planet / guide du routard. I think the ones that achieve that best are 1 (retina99) and 4 (dalim)

Thank you for your feedback!
As I wrote in the article, “if the experience of my first book is any indication, the title resonates more in French than in English, so the English version of the book will probably have a title that is not a literal translation.”
Similarly, the cover of my first book is very different in its English version, much more minimalist:
- French-language cover: https://www.amazon.fr/chance-%C3%A9tudes-nouvelle-%C3%A9dition-augment%C3%A9e/dp/2379350310/
- English-language cover: https://the-way-of-the-intelligent-rebel.com/
This is undoubtedly a cultural difference. However, the book sold much better in French than in English (130,000 vs. 5,000 copies).
