Reading Mach2 from cover to cover felt like hitting a personal reset button. The author has an incredible way of making you feel seen, especially if you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like life is just happening to you instead of being designed by you. The exercises and reflections helped me reconnect with my authentic values and strengths. I walked away with renewed drive, practical tools, and a clearer sense of direction. This book didn’t just motivate me it empowered me.

I appreciated how honest and straightforward Mach2 is. It doesn’t sugarcoat personal growth or pretend change is effortless. Some chapters challenged me in uncomfortable but necessary ways, especially around self-sabotage and negative inner dialogue. While not every example matched my personal situation, the core message is empowering and universally applicable. This book encourages accountability while still being encouraging and supportive. I really love it and wish to read more.

This is not your typical self-help book filled with clichés. Mach2 asks you to take responsibility for your mindset and your direction in life. Some sections required slow reading and reflection, which I appreciated. It’s practical, grounded, and genuinely motivating without being overwhelming.

This is a book that continues to reveal value even after you’ve finished reading it. I found myself revisiting highlighted passages and reflecting on them days later. The lessons around mindset, vision, and self-motivation are practical and deeply applicable.
Mach2 feels like a long-term companion rather than a one-time read, something you can return to as you grow and evolve.

The anniversary edition of Mach2 enhances an already meaningful book with greater clarity and structure. While the pacing is slower in places, the journey feels intentional rather than drawn out.

This book rewards patience and thoughtful engagement. For readers willing to reflect and apply the principles, the payoff is substantial and lasting.

I am really blessed through this book.

This is a thoughtful, well-structured self-help book that respects the reader’s intelligence. The ideas require commitment and practice, but that’s what gives them real power.

Mach2 focuses on long-term change rather than quick fixes, making it a meaningful investment for serious readers.

I began reading this book at 8:00pm on January 2nd and finished it at 1:57 am on January 3rd.

Oh my word!

This is the very first book I’ve read since double eye surgery.

I honestly couldn’t put it down! I underlined and highlighted it. I plan to go back and use stickers in strategic spots.

This was AMAZING. It’s like he knew who I was and was inviting me to share with him as he shared.
Just... wow!

I can’t wait to write my story, make my movie and vision board.

I never knew what I should put on one. What it should be and why.
Richard Bliss gets downright personal with the reader and meets them where they are.

I’ve never finished a self help book before as they tend to be a bit boring.
Not Richard Bliss. His book is rich with humor and hope.

I HIGHLY recommend this book to not only business builders in their chosen field but for parents to read with their teenagers. Self esteem is so important at that age.

Thank you sir for taking time to write this amazing book❣️

This book completely reframed how I understand motivation. Rather than treating it as a personality trait that some people naturally possess and others lack, Mach2 presents motivation as a learnable, sustainable skill one that can be strengthened through awareness, structure, and intentional practice. That shift alone felt empowering, because it removed blame and replaced it with agency. Richard Bliss Brooke explains motivation in a way that feels grounded in real human behavior, not wishful thinking or hype. The book left me inspired without feeling unrealistic, and encouraged without pressure. More than a temporary boost, it gave me a steady confidence that meaningful, lasting change is possible when motivation is approached thoughtfully.

What truly distinguishes Mach2 is its honesty. Richard Bliss Brooke doesn’t pretend that growth is linear or that old habits disappear overnight. Instead, he openly acknowledges how easy it is to slip back into familiar patterns and then offers realistic, compassionate guidance for recognizing and interrupting them. The book feels written by someone who has lived through these challenges, not just studied them. Its tone is calm, understanding, and respectful, making the reading experience feel more like a conversation with a trusted mentor than a set of instructions. I felt seen as a reader, which made the insights resonate more deeply and stick longer.

Thanks for the inspiration sir.

Among the many self-help books I’ve read, Mach2 stands out for its depth and deliberate pacing. Rather than rushing the reader toward quick conclusions, it encourages slowing down, reflecting honestly, and thinking critically about how you approach your goals, habits, and decisions. The book respects the reader’s intelligence and invites engagement rather than passive consumption. Its emphasis on meaning over speed felt refreshing in a genre that often prioritizes urgency. I found the experience rewarding because it prompted genuine self-examination, not just surface-level motivation. This is a book that stays with you after you close it.

This book helped me finally understand why motivation fades and more importantly, how to reignite it naturally without forcing myself. The emphasis on self-talk, vision, and authenticity really stood out to me. Instead of pushing hustle culture or external pressure, Mach2 teaches alignment with who you truly are. That shift alone changed how I approach my goals and daily habits. I felt genuinely pleased and grateful after reading this book, it brought clarity, peace, and renewed confidence. Thanks for writing this kind of book.

This book is ideal for anyone who feels trapped in cycles of starting over without lasting progress. Richard Bliss Brooke explains self-sabotage with clarity and compassion, helping the reader understand not just what happens, but why.
The writing is engaging, thoughtful, and encouraging without ever becoming preachy. Mach2 earns its place as a classic in personal development because it focuses on transformation at the root level. I finished the book feeling optimistic, informed, and confident in my ability to move forward.

Thanks for this passionate book sir.

I came to Mach2 during a period of uncertainty, when my sense of direction felt blurred and fragile. The book’s message, that self-motivation compounds over time, offered both clarity and reassurance. Instead of demanding immediate transformation, it emphasizes consistency, patience, and alignment, which felt far more realistic and sustainable. The insights helped me reframe how I evaluate progress and success. This isn’t a book that delivers a temporary surge of motivation; it equips the reader with mindset shifts that continue to shape how you think, plan, and act long after reading.

Mach2 reminded me that motivation isn’t something you wait around for, it’s something you consciously create and nurture. The idea of compounding goals through consistent self-motivation really clicked for me. Rather than overwhelming me with drastic changes, this book encouraged small, intentional shifts that feel sustainable. I’ve already started applying what I learned, and the progress feels natural instead of forced.

One of the strongest messages in Mach2 is the importance of authenticity. The book doesn’t push a one-size-fits-all version of success. Instead, it empowers the reader to define success on their own terms.
While some concepts were familiar, the way they were woven together gave them new relevance and depth. I appreciated how the book honored individuality and personal values, leaving me feeling more confident in my own path.

I really love this and wish to read more books.

I didn’t expect Mach2 to affect me emotionally, but it did deeply. It brought awareness to how often I had settled for less than I wanted simply because I hadn’t intentionally designed my life.
The book gave language to thoughts I had struggled to articulate and helped me reconnect with my sense of possibility. I finished reading with clarity, gratitude, and a renewed sense of ownership over my future. That emotional impact alone makes this book invaluable.

What impressed me most about Mach2 is how timeless it feels. Even after many years, the ideas are incredibly relevant. Richard Bliss Brooke doesn’t promise overnight success; instead, he teaches sustainable self-motivation. This book helped me reconnect with my vision and reminded me that progress compounds when intention meets action.
