Review: Think Like a Spy

Think Like a Spy by LaRae Qua
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Hooter: A ex Military, ex CIA and ex FBI agent share tips for the real world

The entire set up was extremely promising with individuals from 3 different spheres sharing their experiences and learning to bring back into the civilian world but either due to the nature of declassification or keeping it generic, turns into a regular self help session which is very robotic and rehearsed. The key takeaways are things you probably already knew like self discipline, confidence, digital footprint can easily be tracked. Some of the stories felt retrofitted for the use case. Like when they want to flip a foreign asset and party super hard to win him over whilst telling him we dont want to party hard with you because you dont want to flip or the case where a random sighting of a seemingly lost asset in a newspaper clipping became a story of perseverance and not losing hope. Felt very trite.
