    HOUSTON, TX, May 06, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Derek Berman, a rock and roll trendsetter has released The Book of Life on Amazon. "I feel very fortunate. When I look back on my life, it seems so magical! And, I want to pay forward the joy by sharing the knowledge that has come my way. . . the knowledge of not only how to be successful, but how to be happy!" said Derek Berman on why he wrote the book.

Still active in the music industry after fifty-five years, Derek Berman is a rock and roll trendsetter, who not only performed with some of the most legendary rock artists, but also played an integral part in the rise of House and Rap music.

Derek grew up in London, England where at the age of 20 he joined The Echoes, a rock 'n roll band -- playing back-up for such 60's legends as: Jerry Lee Lewis, Conway Twitty, The Four Seasons, Dusty Springfield, Freddy Cannon, Rodger Wittaker, Lulu, The Monkees, Roy Orbison, Cat Stevens, Kiki Dee, and many others. The Echoes played at the famed Cavern Club in Liverpool, where one week prior to the release of "I Wanna Hold Your Hand," The Beatles played as The Echoes' warm-up band! Other world-renowned stages Derek has graced are, The London Palladium, London's Royal Festival Hall, The Olympia Paris, and Teatro Volturno in Rome.

Since leaving The Echoes, Derek worked as a recording engineer in both the UK and US. He has run several theatrical booking/management agencies and booked big name celebrities such as Tom Jones, Englebert Humperdinck and Anne Murray. Additionally, Derek partnered with Bob Tarantino, head of promotions at A&M Records, who was responsible for promoting showstoppers, Sting, The Go Go's and The Carpenters! They were instrumental at the beginning of House and Rap in Chicago managing Fast Eddie, Frankie "Hollywood" Rodriguez and top House and Rap DJ's with hits too numerous to mention.

The Book of Life is an easy read that gives you insights on how to deal with specific issues in life such as divorce, grief, love, communication and children. With sound, practical ideas and useful exercises on creating a better life, you will gain understanding, enabling you to break free of beliefs that are holding you back. The Book of Life can literally change your life.

In the book, Derek says, "Derek feels very fortunate to have interacted with countless celebrities and high-profile individuals while living and working in many different parts of the world. He has always had a strong interest in people and has consistently tried to observe their habits, attitudes and how they cope with life's various situations. He found that whatever people believe is true for them, but those beliefs are not true for everyone. In fact, everyone has different beliefs and those beliefs shape their individual lives. Our beliefs were never our own because they have been passed on to us by parents, teachers and authority figures. We may think they are set in stone, but it is possible to change them. And, we can create a better life by changing beliefs that don't serve us well."

Derek is available for interviews via telephone or video services like Skype or Zoom. Please contact Elizabeth Berman at (281) 404-2544 or [email protected]. To get your copy of The Book of Life, go to Amazon at http://bit.ly/DBerman.
