Drawing on decades as a consultant, Weinberg offers memorable laws and rules of thumb about why clients resist change, how to set fees, how to market yourself and how to stay sane. The book is aimed at professional consultants but is useful for anyone, such as managers or engineers, who tries to influence other people.

- David Heinemeier Hansson: “Gerald is a treasure trove of wisdom. I can also highly recommend the Quality Software Management series (hard to find!), The Secrets of Consulting, An Introduction to General Systems Thinking, and Becoming A Technical Leader. All left a permanent impression on me.”
