A Glimpse Of What You'll Find

30,000 hours of behavioral research, military-grade techniques, and real-world field application — all in one book.

The FATE Model +

Unlock the four primal forces driving every human decision — Focus, Authority, Tribe, and Emotion. Once you understand what someone's survival brain is prioritizing, influence becomes inevitable.

The Six-Axis Model of Influence +

A complete framework for understanding how open, compliant, and receptive someone is in real time. Master all six axes and you'll know exactly how and when to communicate for maximum impact.

The Behavioral Table of Elements +

Chase's most iconic creation — every human behavior catalogued, rated from least to most deceptive, and backed by a minimum of four research sources. The ultimate one-page cheat code for reading anyone.

Inversion Patterns +

The tough guy, the people pleaser, the overachiever, the class clown — learn what each persona is actually hiding and what fear is driving it. See the defense mechanism, not the mask.

Deception Detection +

The exact techniques used in military interrogation and high-stakes intelligence work. Learn to spot behavioral tells before, during, and after statements with scientific precision.

Self-Mastery & Internal Command +

Eliminate the negative self-talk loop, rewire your default behavioral patterns, and develop the internal composure to walk into any situation without fear or hesitation.

Most behavior books teach you concepts. This one gives you a system.

There's no shortage of psychology content out there. But content without a system just leaves you more confused. The Ops Manual was built for real-world deployment — not armchair reading.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our products.

I'm not in law enforcement or the military. Is this still relevant to me? +

Completely. The system is used by therapists, CEOs, parents, salespeople, negotiators, and everyday people who are done being reactive in their relationships and careers. If you interact with other human beings, this book applies to your life.

Is this just another psychology book recycling the same ideas? +

No. Most behavior books give you concepts. This gives you a deployable system. The FATE Model, the Six-Axis Model, the Behavioral Table of Elements — these are proprietary frameworks built from scratch through decades of field use, not repackaged academic theory.

How fast will I start seeing results? +

Most people notice a shift within the first few chapters. The inversion patterns section alone changes how you see every person you interact with. This isn't a slow burn — the frameworks are designed for immediate real-world application.

Is this manipulative or unethical to use? +

The system is built around understanding, not exploitation. Chase Hughes has been transparent about this from the beginning — the goal is to give good people access to the same tools that have historically only been available to trained operatives. Influence without manipulation is a core pillar of the entire NCI system.
