From the back cover: If you are a consultant, or if you ever use a consultant, this book is for you. Gerald M. Weinberg draws on his 25 years of experience as author, lecturer, and consultant to share his secrets about the often irrational world of consulting. "The irrationality can drive consultants crazy," he writes in the book, "but if consultants can cope with it, it can also drive them rich."

Using memorable rules, laws, and principles to make his points, Gerald M. Weinberg offers wise and witty advice on how to succeed in this highly competitive profession. Among the topics are pricing and marketing your services, measuring your effectiveness, and dealing with client resistance.
