Resumen del Editor

Former Secret Service agent and star of Bravo’s Spy Games Evy Poumpouras shares lessons learned from protecting presidents, as well insights and skills from the oldest and most elite security force in the world to help you prepare for stressful situations, instantly read people, influence how you are perceived, and live a more fearless life.

Becoming Bulletproof means transforming yourself into a stronger, more confident, and more powerful person. Evy Poumpouras - former Secret Service agent to three presidents and one of only five women to receive the Medal of Valor - demonstrates how we can overcome our everyday fears, have difficult conversations, know who to trust and who might not have our best interests at heart, influence situations, and prepare for the unexpected. When you have become bulletproof, you are your best, most courageous, and most powerful version of you. Poumpouras shows us that ultimately true strength is found in the mind, not the body.

Courage involves facing our fears, but it is also about resilience, grit, and having a built-in BS detector and knowing how to use it. In Becoming Bulletproof, Poumpouras demonstrates how to heighten our natural instincts to employ all these qualities and move from fear to fearlessness.

Wonderful on Every Level

This book was so engaging that I listened to the whole thing in only two days; that's fast considering my work schedule.
The good advice was peppered with anecdotes, and the author's warm persona shone through her narration. Besides the practicality and support, her experiences of past presidents was also very interesting.
I recommend this book to anyone who wants a strong feminine hero and good advice about handling oneself in most any situation.

More Important Than Ever!

This book is like a full collection of best practices. It covers so much ground that I listened to it then bought the hardcover. The information is something I will refer to often. It should be a required read for all young adults!

Phenomenal

Evy has an incredible story and insight to offer people to feel empowered. She has a keen way of making psychological concepts easily understandable and practical for the lay person seeking to gain control over their lives. I am very thankful for this book and have shared it with my friends. I am confident every person who reads or listens to this book will gain something to benefit themselves. .

Amazing Book!

Not what I was expecting- it was even better! I cannot wait until her next book!

Pretty good

I have been vacillating between giving this 3 stars or 4 stars. The book rarely GRABBED my attention, many parts of it are dull, and some of the topics are weird.
That being said, there is a lot of great information in here and the overall goal/theme (becoming bulletproof in all aspects of life) is great. Evy does a great performance reading it herself, and her life and experience is surely inspiring. She obviously poured her heart and soul into this book.

Practical information, great delivery

This book is full of great insight, practical knowledge and interesting anecdotes all delivered colorfully. Loved it. I'll probably go back and re-listen to the parts about reading people and analyzing behavior.

So many emotions

What a great book! First, I am so glad that the author decided to read her own book because the emotion in her voice while telling her story was unbelievable! So many different emotions throughout the book. It definitely put a lot into perspective. She shares very insightful stories from her experiences and relates them to every day situations that we would all go through. This book is worth reading/listening to. I was sharing snippets with my husband, and got emotional when sharing.

AMAZING!

The empathy from the writer is contagious but what really makes me realize is the strength I have in myself through so much I could learn. The insights of the strengths of Presidents and First Ladies were not even necessary as despite of anything - this is not about them but each one of us. Our inner strength and the knowledge to use them wisely. This is a book I recommend after understanding narcissism and disorders. After understanding that you have to build this confidence - that already resides in. More than an amazing literature another way to make you believe - “you are enough!”.

What a book!

If you listened or read this book then you're one of the lucky ones who gets to learn from a brilliant woman! I know my mind and life will forever be changed because of the knowledge she has introduced. This is a must-read!

I am glad I purchased this

Very inspiring. Excellent job. The story is not what I expected and the life lessons are even more surprising. Such a welcome.
