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.

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.

absolutely love every minute of listening

I heard Evy talking on a podcast in an interview and her personality, her story and expression rushed me to buy her book. When I saw on Amazon, that she is reading the audiobook herself, I have changed the order to it. Very happy, that I did that. She has a very patient, calming soothing voice, and also can hear the tones of the meaningful messages for real, what she meant to express. This book is well put together. I see, she has a lot of fantastic knowledge and experience, which is fascinating for us, regular people. Besides the stories, this is a very educational book, to get to know ourselves and others better in our everyday lives. I feel that she also did her full research to include the most information about the certain topic she is tackling. I rewind many chapters, and I know that I will be listening to this book more times again. I bet, that I will hear new information, what I have missed at this time. I have not felt bored at any moment, all chapters are fantastic. Thank you, Evy!!!!

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!”.

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!
