Becoming Bulletproof

Protect Yourself, Read People, Influence Situations, and Live Fearlessly

By: Evy Poumpouras

Narrated by: Evy Poumpouras

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.

Good book

Evy tells a good story. I could’ve done without her opinions of Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama, but overall a good book.

Good book. Great narration. Everyone should have a listen of this book, and becoming a better version of yourself.

Really Good

I liked that it covered many areas of protection. After listening to the free clip, I expected it was just about being mentally bulletproof. It was a pleasant surprise to also find personal safety tips and even tips on how to physically secure my home.

The only part that was just a tiny bit jarring was the interview style discussions scattered around. My guess is that she wanted to speak in an honest less guarded manner and could best do that in response to interview questions from someone she was close to. It messed up the rhythm for me as a listener though.

It’s like your bobbing along “I’m with you Evy. I’m with you.” And then all of the sudden, “Who the heck is this guy?!?”

Over all though, good book; good advice; good buy. I’m happy I did.
