'Part memoir, part hugely entertaining self-help manual for these tough times' Roger Alton, Daily Mail 'A bona fide badass' The Sunday Times Former Secret Service Special Agent Evy Poumpouras shares the insights and skills from one of the oldest elite security forces in the world - to help you prepare for stressful situations, instantly read people, influence how you're perceived, and live a more fearless life. From gruelling training to clandestine interrogation rooms, to protecting the President of the United States of America, Evy shares rare behind-the-scenes glimpses while also exploring the psychology of human behaviour and the strategies used by the best negotiators. Evy demonstrates how we can learn from these experiences to heighten our own natural instincts to detect BS, develop grit and become the most resilient and powerful version of ourselves. Becoming Bulletproof is a timely guide to empowerment, mental strength, and overcoming fear and abuse - a guide to becoming bulletproof.

The mixture of memoir engaging stories from the author's life and practicable pieces of information makes it useful and easy to read.

Good book
The book offers some valuable ideas and insights, but it often drifts away from the main topic. Instead of staying focused on its core subject, it feels more like an autobiography with many personal experiences and reflections. While this may make the book less precise, deep and patient readers may still appreciate the depth and personal perspective. Overall, it is a thoughtful read, but it may not suit those looking for a clear and concise discussion of the topic.

Never Mess With The Best
With all due respect & immense admiration, I would really love to have the author as my friend & bodyguard for life, but since I didn't make it to the PM, President or POTUS category, this excellent well written book is a great self-help alternative & a real eye opener for anyone willing to up their game in dealing with the most life threatening situations, difficult people, plus prepare for anything that comes one's way as best possible. As a young doctor who worked during a civil war in Africa in 1996, these priceless life saving skills & tips would have come in very handy then, I can still use her valuable teachings during these covid times when everything seems so unpredictable to reassure myself & all those around me that all will be fine with Divine blessings.

Inspiring and extremely informative.
The writing style is really smooth and the experiences are truly admirable. What I loved the most is how she has linked her Secret service experiences and it's learnings to some day to day scenarios that each of us faces.

Use your brain
This is a very important book for all who want to learn about themselves and others. She tells a gripping story with many lessons to learn from without the unbearable “know it all”-style. This is a lot about questioning yourself and your behaviour. So self-reflection is a key part.

A Memoir Trying to Be a Self Help Book
Evy Poumpouras is a competent writer and comes across as quite likeable. But this is more of a memoir than a self help book. But I give her credit for writing an entertaining book nonetheless.

Wow!! Outstanding book
I chose to give this book top marks because it is simply outstanding. The personal stories that Evy shared made me cry and humbled at her bravery. These alone made me want to read an autobiography by her, as I'm sure it would be amazing. She also gives such amazing and insightful advice. Not only on becoming mentally stronger, learnt from all her life skills, but how to show humility and grace even in the toughest of times. The advice she gives is so easily applied to everyone and she makes sure that her words and advice are applicable to all of us. I've already started applying changes to my own life after reading the first few chapters. This is a survival book for life in my opinion, and everyone should read it. If you want a stronger mind set, to learn how to read other ppl and see through deception. There is just so much in this book to aid you in life. Evy Poumpouras has literally become one of my heroes. She is admirable and astute and i think everyone can learn something from her and this book. I literally didn't want it to end, which is the best sign of a great book. Thank you Evy for writing this book, I truly admire you and hope to become bulletproof from your amazing lessons. You're so talented, brave and gracious. I've learnt so much and intend to start applying more changes for good because of the knowledge you've shared. Thank you again!
