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.

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!

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.

I picked up this book quite by accident as I was shopping in a natural food store in London. I never tried many self-help-style books before - so my opinion was neither positive or negative. But I took a chance. I read this book in an afternoon (recently) and have re-read bits of it each day since. I carry it with me to read when I have a moment during the day. The principles are universal and can be applied to every area of life. My life was different the very first day I tried applying these principles. They are simple; not easy, but simple. If you wish to gain peace in your life and be more comfortable with yourself, others, and the universe, read this book and learn to apply its suggestions in your everyday living. This book is on my all-time great list -- I'm going to make sure I'm never without a copy. May it be a blessing to others the way it is to me.

Once in a while, a personal-growth book comes along like a breath of fresh air with a unique concept. "The Beatles Way" is one of those books. What better way to think about how we live our lives than using the Beatles as roles models? They lived every dream and had every success they could ever wish for. This book reveals the details on exactly how they did it - and how we can dream big and live big too. I'm completely a fan of The Beatles - and now - I'm a huge fan of "The Beatles Way." For a fun and "fab" live - get this book - it's a must-have.

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!

I discovered this great book during a visit to Manhattan recently and I flipped! On the spot, I bought three more copies for my kids and friends for holiday gifts.

"The Beatles Way: Fab Wisdom For Everyday Life" has a highly original but simple concept to follow - To present the Beatles' accomplished lifestyles as models for our own.

The author clearly shows how we can emulate the Fab Four in striving to live out our own dreams. For instance, I learned quite a lot about how the Bealtes approached spirituality, and I've taken their lead and am now studying meditation. This one breakthrough alone has changed my life dramatically for the better!

And I can see how this book will effect my older son (an aspiring filmaker)- as he can learn to model the Beatles determination and willingness to work hard to accomplish set goals - without giving up.

The author also talks about the women in the Beatles lives - and I came away with a new appreciation for Yoko Ono and Linda McCartney.

The book is fast-paced - sort of like "A Hard Day's Night" in a book - and I can't say enough good things about it. Buy this book - you'll treasure it for years to come, and you'll "Meet The Beatles" in a whole new light!

This is a superb book that brilliantly explains how The Beatles
rose to the top using all of the success principles that today's
success gurus preach.It has alot of interesting tidbits about The
Beatles 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.

I love this book! And it's not just for Beatles fans either. It follows in the tradition of Stephen Covey's "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People," and who's more highly effective than the Beatles?

What's great about it (for one thing) is that you can open it to any page, and get a little nugget of golden wisdom from the fabulous fab legacy of the Beatles!

The seven steps to Fab Wisdom are easy-to-follow, and just so much fun to try!

I'm buying several copies for my children too. They don't like self-help books at all, I'm sure they're going to love this one, as the Beatles are people they respect and admire.

All I can say is...WOW!!!....I Really enjoyed reading this ...Eventhough I'm a Beatles fan...even non fans will get a kick out of this book!. It draws you in, and you don't wanna put it down!. The facts that Mr. Lange present are real eye-openers and the language is very down to earth!...it almost feels like Mr. Lange is sitting right besides you telling you how to focus in on your dreams! (..wow..now wouldn't that be something....Mr. Lange right besides you....well like he sez...We all can DREAM!). I think this is a must have for Beatles fans hands down..It will make you think about yourself and your goals in life..and show you ways to reach those goals!!I loved it!!
