Description

Former Secret Service agent and star of Bravo’sSpy 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. Read more

  • Extremely Interesting
Likes: This book is jam-packed with information and lessons from Evy's career. Lessons that will help you become more "well rounded" so to say. Being able to see the experiences through her eyes and writing style is an irreplaceable experience with a known genuine feeling with mentions of trial and error making this book very easy to relate to as a person. I do not normally read but I had seen an interview with Evy for her book on Youtube. I was excited to read the book after the interview. Not only do I thank Evy for writing this book. Evy also gave me an enthusiasm for reading. I'm now excited to read! I plan to reread this book in a few months. It is a book that you will find yourself wanting to re-read just in case you missed something! Dislikes: There's nothing to dislike ... show more

  • Amazing book.
I purchased becoming bulletproof towards the end of last year, and I really admire evy’s bravery and courage. This book means a lot to me, it not only inspires me, but helps me to be the best that I can be, and to keep trying to be a better person everyday. I was going through a lot during the time that I purchased this book, I read the book in about 2 weeks because I’m a slow reader. Words can’t describe how amazing this book is, I learned a lot, and respect and admire anyone that helps people , and chooses to do the right things. Highly recommend this book. 🙌 ... show more

  • Refreshing with lots of solid advice and action points
Format: Kindle
I am not super familiar with Evy. I have seen one short segment of an interview she did with a YouTuber I follow, but her background in the secret service makes her very interesting. Overall, I think many parts of this book have helpful advice and action points. If anything, it has a lot of journal prompts (not necessarily intentionally). The book is written in a conversational style and reads like being talked to by an older wiser sister. Many say this reads too much like a memoire, but I wonder if they skimmed it because the stories are always connected to lessons and examples of when and how and why you should do something. To me, it really felt like when you talk to a parent or older mentor figure in your life and they tell you a snippet of their life and lessons they learned from that. I also found her no-nonsense delivery quite refreshing. She didn't talk much about the difficulty of being a woman in such a male-dominated field, so if you are looking for that, then you'll be disappointed. She mentions it a bit but very general, for instance, saying that you should stay authentic to yourself, and she gives the example of her reading Vogue instead of some more 'manly' magazine. I am reading other self-help books concurrently, and this one by far has a fresher take on the topic of resilience. As for references, I read the Kindle version, so I was looking up psychology stuff as it came up and found it quite accurate and informative. If you are looking for a start in self-improvement or want a new perspective on the topic, I definitely recommend her book. On the flip side, the last chapter felt forced with the examples of people she worked for and what she learned from them. While we can always learn from someone, I would draw the line at deriving life lessons from someone who while holding the most powerful position in the world took advantage of a young intern and left her to face all the blame. Sure, no one is perfect, but it still felt too forced and performative and contrasted greatly with the tone of the rest of the book. ... show more

  • Helpful, Interesting, and Informative Book
Format: Kindle
While I enjoyed Evy Poumpouras’s book, I am confident that she has a lot more that she could teach. It seemed as though she was reaching for a broader audience. If you have read a few self-development books, you will have read much of the same material before. In her book, Poumpouras sprinkles in some personal anecdotes to make her stories come alive. It would be interesting to learn more advanced information from her, for I am sure she has learned a tremendous amount during her career. But you can only pack so much information in one book. When she talked about cybersecurity, passwords, security questions, it reminded me of my practice, which I will share. Often when you create an important account, they will ask you to choose from a list of questions and provide your answers. For example, who was your childhood best friend? Here is my process: Start by using a password manager. Next, choose any question; it does not matter. Next, think of three short random words. Look around your room. Look outside. Think of your hobbies, your friend’s hobbies, or even your enemies’s hobbies. Think of past vacations, or whatever. Choose three random, short words and concatenate them—in others words, smash them together to make one long string. That is the answer to your first question. Record the question and your answer in the notes section of your password manager. Do the same for the remaining two questions. Now, even if someone knows you well, they don’t know the answers to your security questions. Heck, I don’t even know the answers to my security questions without looking them up in my password manager. Overall, enjoyable and informative book with interesting personal anecdotes. I came away with having great respect for the author and her work. ... show more

  • Powerful
Thank you Evy! This book is a blend of a field guide, self-help, and memoir. Drawing from her experience as a Secret Service agent, Evy shares practical, actionable tools to help us navigate our mental, emotional, and physical states in everyday life. My entire book club gave it 5 stars! We learned so much about what it truly means to become bulletproof. Many of us plan to reread it just to capture even more insights. I personally dog-eared countless pages and took lots of notes. Several members who first listened to the audiobook went on to purchase a hard copy so they could highlight and revisit key sections. This is a book we’ll be coming back to again and again. Thank you Evy for writing something so powerful and useful! :) ... show more

  • Informative, Confident-Inspiring, Worth Every Penny
Format: Hardcover
I recently finished reading this book and thoroughly enjoyed it, despite it being an atypical genre from the like of books I preferred to read previously. Evy Pompurous is an inspiring woman with a wealth of experience and information to share. Although I did struggle to get through the introduction and first chapter (again, likely due to my previous reading-interests residing in fiction) - I understand that it was necessary for the author to lay out this important framework, and to build rapport with the reader in helping us to gain a baseline of the merit and experiences behind this individual. I had a hard time getting myself to put the book down once I got to the second chapter, and progressively deeper into the book. Although much of Evy's imparted wisdom does take a bit of routine/mindfulness in putting into practice - I did feel more confident and prepared about myself in my daily life and circumstances, and I believe that will only get better and settle into being a natural part of me as I continue to practice it. This is definitely a book I'd recommend to anyone from any background or position in life, and one that I will keep and be sure to re-visit again and again. In short - highly recomended. Informationally-speaking, one could probably substitute this $20 book in place of some several-hundred-dolalr Psychology courses. ... show more
