This book will prove inspiring to anyone contemplating leaving the corporate world and going it alone. Soloing is work that defines not just what you do but who you are.
David Gurteen's comments: If you are contemplating buying this book - you should understand what kind of book it is before you purchase it. If you are looking for a business book with lots of how-to advice on how to go from being an employee to running your own one-person organization, you will probably be disappointed. On the other hand, if you enjoy learning more about a person's psychology in making a change than practical advice on what you should do, this is a superb book and one you will enjoy.
