 Don't be jaded, this is not just another self-help book September 28, 2008
I'm a sucker for these type of books, but felt like a genius after reading a bit and finding it to be fresh and practical. No metaphysical mantras here, I found this book to be a perfect synergy of practical advice and mental development. I had no reason to expect anything more than your typical 'I was a Navy Seal/Green Beret/Special Forces soldier and you can be one too' but I was pleasantly surprised. The advice and mantras are solid and I found that the discussion stuck with me.
 A Must Read for Everyone September 18, 2008

Richard Machowicz has updated his phenomenal book and even if you have the first edition, you need to get this update. Mack shares his wisdom, his experience and his vast knowledge in readable, usable prose. There is an embarrassment of riches in this book and you can read it over and over and still find a new nugget of insight with each reading. You get the perfect blend of motivation, direction and entertainment in this book. This is a must for everyone's library.

I ordered this book while on an Amazon shopping spree. When it arrived I stood there going "What was I thinking?". Navy SEALS, macho man on the cover, mean stare and a title that reads "Unleash the warrior.." Anyway, I've made some stupid purchases in the past, so at least it wasn't as if this was the first one.
A few days later I got the flu and had to stay in bed for a few days, so I started paging through this macho title. And suddenly I propped myself up, and got a pen and paper for notes. This book was good!
It seems as if most of the macho stuff was concentrated on the cover. Okay, so the author tells quite a few stories about his SEAL-days, but always to illustrate a point. Funny thing is, the point was often related to un-macho things, such as (his own) fear and feelings of inadequacy.
As I lay there reading, I soon came to realise that this was the VERY BEST self-improvement book I've ever read. Yes, even better than Covey's "Seven Habits" (because Machovitz's advice will work for everyone, his ideas are not pie-in-the-sky, and the methods have been tried, tested and perfected in numerous very difficult situations). If you are from the Carnegie school, you are also in for a surprise - this guy is genuine, and not once does he imply anything along the line of "fake it till you make it". Quite the contrary.
Machovitz is a good writer, and his editor also did a great job. I enjoyed the book thoroughly. Not one boring page. His anecdotes from his military days were amusing, captivating and thought-provoking. A good read even if this isn't a leisure book.
The purpose of the book is to provide the reader with "tools" with which to order his life, establish and prioritise goals, and then to equip himself with the right mindset to go out and get it. Very effective. And it works.
While reading the book, I had a pen and paper handy with which I made notes. I used the 8 or so pages I've made and prepared a series of talks for my employees. The results in their lives were as dramatic as the changes in my own.
Don't let the packaging put you off. It's one of the most life-changing books I've ever read.
Success tools you can apply immediately July 19, 2008

One of the most valuable verifiable lessons from this book is how far we can go beyond our own self imposed limitations and of course the author's personal story is a great point of reference to remind us of that reality.
I integrated this lesson into my daily tools and was amazed how my mind's "tricks" with exhaustion, thirst and all kind of other excuses to interrupt my difficult tasks gave way to levels of productivity and achievement I had never experienced before.
This book is now a must-read for my business advisory clients.
I still feel I have only applied a small fraction of what the author has developed into a system and being a slow learner it will be a little while before I can report on the full potential of this book, even though I have already seen amazing results.
What I also like about this book is the nice balance between personal experience of the author and how he uses that to reinforce the concepts.
This book is now glued to my desk!

I found this the best selfhelp book I have ever read. This one works! Right from the beginning you are given easy to use methods and tools that start taking you forward immediately. Great entertaining stories woven throught this book keeps the whole process moving. There are many new ideas that I needed to reread and pratice, but it did not seem like work at all. I am over 50 yrs. old and wish I would have been able to read this in my twenties, so I bought it for my son. He is glad I did. I give this book five stars.
