Email me at brennan at planscope.io and I'll forward you a dozen emails from people who've bought my book (http://doubleyourfreelancingrate.com) who now have a higher income and a better lifestyle.

The books on your bookshelf are meant to improve your lifestyle - they teach you new skills that you can charge for. Some books, however, do that on a higher, more general level.

I just glanced over the URL in your post and it took me a while to figure out your book wasn't called, "Double Your Freelancing Ingrate." :) Too bad too, because I thought the book was about how to gracefully get rid of ungrateful clients and that would actually be a great book too!

After reading Brennan's book I raised my rate from $100/hr up to $150/hr. When I mentioned my rate to 4 new prospects they didn't seem to notice. It didn't seem expensive at all to them.

Maybe I should raise my rates further...

I'm not sure why you need a book to tell you that you can raise you rates if you think that people will pay your higher rates.

I've thought that I could raise my rates for over a year now. But Brennan's book gave me the drive to actually do it.

I'll back up Brennan 100% on his claims. I've _successfully_ raised my rates +30/hr after reading his ebook. The advice was relevant, pointed, and easy to implement. The book paid for itself in the first week I owned it.
