Customer Reviews

Fun and Useful Self-Help "With The Beatles!"

I'm a huge Beatles fan, and have read all the books on the market about the Fab Four. I thought I'd seen it all, so I didn't think I'd like this new "self-help" styled book. Wow - was I wrong! Because I LOVED it! For the first time, I see the Beatles legacy actually helping me to live my own life in a more powerful, creative and joyful way. The author knows his stuff, I learned several things I never knew about the Beatles. The author especially captures the spiritual essence of our dear-departed beloved George Harrison, and clearly shows his impact on the group and the world.PLUS - "The Beatles Way" is never boring or preachy. It's a fun read, and Lange puts the "Yeah!" into the "Yeah Yeah Yeah!" Get this book! I bought six copies for my friends and kids - it's the only self-help book I ever found useful! Kudos and thanks to the author for this breath of fresh air.

BEST BEATLES BOOK ON THE MARKET!!

This is a superb book that brilliantly explains how The Beatlesrose to the top using all of the success principles that today'ssuccess gurus preach.It has alot of interesting tidbits about TheBeatles that you won't find in most books about them.It is a combination of motivation,inspiration, and history. 5 stars is not enough for this great book.

INSPIRATIONAL, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH!

This excellent book is just like having the Beatles act as your personal instructors in the areas of self improvement and awareness. It is a literary magnet; it will draw readers repeatedly and remain well loved. It is well researched and I like the way the author is able to apply Beatle quotes and Beatle themed concepts to a myriad of issues. The author compliments his readers' intelligence; his book is a fresh gem of Beatle input that will delight everyone and not just avid Beatles fans. In the words of the great Paul McCartney, "I'm so glad our songs were about love, peace and understanding." I think this review can be summed up with a quote from John Lennon: "Imagine all the people living life in peace." Ringo's levity from 1964 also can be applied here when he says of his hair that "it's stuck on good and proper." This book will stick to your mind, good and proper. George Harrison's wisdom can be applied here as well with his 1965 classic, "Think For Yourself." That's what makes this book so wonderful. It really makes you think and come away with insights you might not otherwise have considered. This book is serious, fun and inspirational, yeah, yeah, yeah!

The Beatles in a brand new light!

I was able to get an advance copy, and I have to say - it's really an amazing book. Unlike tons of other Beatle books, "The Beatles Way" focuses on the Fab Four's lifestyles - and how we can model those lifestyles to enrich our own.The quotes from the Beatles that underscore the seven "principles" of Fabness really spoke to me - it's like having John, Paul, George and Ringo as personal life coaches. I especially like the action items (called "You're the Fifth Beatle!" at the end of each chapter)- here's where I can take action on what I've learned and it really works! Positive lessons like keeping a sense of humor, and taking time to dream the way the Beatles did - gave me a fresh start to the day. Great concept, great book. I highly recommend it for self-help fans, and not just for Beatle fans.

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

I'm a longtime Beatles fan since the sixties, and have read many many books about the great group. But I have to say this book is compelely different from the rest. Larry Lange has done a beautiful job in the research and in lining up quotes and stories that comprise the seven fab principles. The book has already helped me re-think my priorites in my life, because I was becoming bored with the way it was going. The book really got me motivated to try some new things, and I feel excited again. The spirit of the Beatles soars through the book "and you know that can't be bad!" Get this book right away! It's great to be fab!
