About the Author: Evy Poumpouras is a former Secret Service Special Agent, on the protective details for former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. She had something (good) to say about the presidents and First Ladies, and I was all ears when she gave us peeks into their personalities.

Looking back on it now, I thought that I had been brave by keeping my eyes open and facing death head-on, but in hindsight it probably wasn’t the smartest idea, exposing myself to all that heat and ash. Inside there were about a dozen or so people, who had managed to escape the worst of the blast of the first tower falling.

As a young adult, Emily graduated with her English degree, specializing in Creative Writing and TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language), from the University of Central Florida. The autobiography of a child of Greek immigrants in New York is touching at parts and the superation tale does reach the reader. Focus your effort: Once you know what works best for you, focus your efforts on one change that you think will help you the most. He started to weep and put his arms around me, the two of us standing there, hugging in the middle of the West Side Highway as people stampeded down the sidewalks on either side of us.I didn’t know that I was covered in a toxic mix of chemicals and building materials and God knows what else. 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. I know I’ve mentioned it a zillion times already, but I just can’t shut up about it: I wanted more more more of her personal stories. 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.

He told me the day of the ceremony and that Jerry Parr, the agent who had saved Ronald Reagan’s life after he had been shot, had been given that same honor. She details ways to read an emergency situation (describing in detail her experience on 9/11), how to be proactive about protecting your home, and how to read others and detect lies.

She offers sage advice on how to prepare for potentially stressful situations, and shows you how to dampen unhelpful reactions. As people streamed toward the emergency exits, I immediately started looking around for my fellow agents. As the tower collapsed above me, strange as it might sound, I felt a peculiar peace spreading through me. Evy is also the recipient of the Valor Award - the Secret Service's highest honor for her acts of heroism on September 11th.

While she does not exactly exude warmth, I am not sure that is necessarily a desirable trait, anyway, in a book about hardening your defenses.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. It happened slowly, just a metallic echo resounding through the air at first, followed by the grinding, groaning sound that precedes total destruction. Loose lips may sink ships, and may be what makes DC go round, but you will be disappointed if you are hoping for dirt on the presidents (or other people) she has helped protect.
