The Ellipsis Manual: analysis and engineering of human behavior

What a fantastic book. Very in depth. I had to read no more than 1 chapter then take time to let myself understand. This guy knows his stuff and he has definitely opened my eyes. For example watching politicians lying on TV.. brilliant educating mind awakening book.

Brilliant. I'm blown away with the amount of details in this book. So well written for easy reading and understanding. Packed with information on what to pay attention to and what to look for in behaviour signs. A comprehensive guide for anyone. Complete with easy references to follow. A true masterpiece and such good value

One of the best books I’ve ever read. Well-written, informative and eye-opening. Definitely will be buying some of his other books. Learned a hell of a lot from this. And if you enjoy this, check out the YouTube channel; The Behaviour Panel, which Chase Hughes is one of four other behaviour analysts. It’s awesome. I’ve literally watched every single one of their videos 😂

Love it! I'm dyslexic so it was migranes to crack the keys but after that everything's pretty much straight forward with describing body language. I'm not a cop but it's definitely interesting to observe people around me and get a sense. Highly recommend it for people who care about life and people surrounding them

It mentions an appendix but there isn't one and the human needs map keeps referring to colours but it's printed in black and white!! So definitely seems like I got a sub par copy Not sure whose fault this is? Otherwise, a great book; you'll definitely learn lots

I have just finished my first read of The Ellipsis Manual... mind blown! It is absolutely jam packed with techniques that can be applied in countless situations (have your highlighter at the ready)! I have read some reviews that describe this as more of a text book - yes that is true, it is a “manual”...but don’t let that put you off! Chase Hughes explains everything thoroughly and gives plenty of examples. I personally read the book alongside listening to podcast episodes/videos Chase featured on (freely available on his website, YouTube or Spotify). These added to my understanding of how everything fits together. I am a therapist in the field of Applied Behaviour Analysis - where active participation - both in therapy and between sessions - is paramount. This manual individualised the way I communicate with each client, enabled me to pick up on even most subtle non verbal cues, and allowed me to gain compliance in therapy participation. Regardless of your field, if your goal is to bring about the best possible outcomes in the shortest time possible, this is the book for you!

.... I see deception everywhere..... I read a lot of psychology and human behaviour books. My favourite subject. This book is very concise and it's no accident that it's called a manual. Most books try to cover too many subjects so the actual subject they try to cover end up getting a little watered down. This book is very specific to 1 subject and even though chase touches on other subjects they are almost evidence rather than filler. The reason I said I wish I could unread it was I see his teachings everywhere.. Media, politics, TV, advertising which is fine but I also see it in family and friends. Even though I joke that I want to unread it, it shows how important it is to surround yourself with honest open people... If you don't or don't know then this book is for you... Cut negative, untrustworthy and deceptive people out of your life. Will also help you see if you are being manipulated yourself and who is doing it. I have recommended this book to so many people. A must buy for anyone with even only a slight interest in this subject but I'd also recommend to people in any kind of abusive relationship whether it be personal or work. 10/10

Most books I like to skim, this book was absolutely captivating and full of useful tools unlike any book I have come across. I had the pleasure of attending the live course too and completely blown away, he is such a humble guy. I was not expecting this at all, the principles in this book and his way of being have many cross over beliefs with a way of being, couple that with technique and you have a power beyond your own belief. You will also learn so much about yourself, how you interact, it’s not a self help book, however it’s much better than any I have read.

Good book

From page 190 till the end the pages on the left have first character missing. I haven’t read the book.

Things that I have been picking up-reading into, for years, that I already seen "live action," on, that I can now breakdown further & fine tune it. If you've been through trauma, nightmare relationships or acquaintances, cruddy jobs & insane family that you could write a book about...then this book will also help you understand what happened to you, & how. (Putting things together) what a great way to heal yourself internally. And a new take on not ever using "victim," as the route after a big-irritating detour, but taking powerful info & turning yourself into become unshakeable, unbreakable & all around mentally secure from psychological warfare. It's definitely not something I would use on others in a,"used for evil way," unless you're looking for Karma to bite you in your butt, when you least expect it to. Also, Ive been skipping thru it to see if it loses my interest....so far it hasn't had a single dull moment. Its like giving me the ultimate how to book on having the Midas touch with a security system. I might buy a second copy in case I wear this one out. It has clarified and confirmed so many things that I have seen and noticed and remembered about people in my life in the past up to this point. At one point I started to wonder if maybe I was being a jerk about people, but in actuality, I was just picking up on what has been explained-instructed by in this book. So I'm not weird or strange or just picky. I just have really good radar & now I've got the instruction manual on how to improve upon it. If it seems like it's not your thing, then you're probably not ready for it. There are a lot of people out there who live in the autopilot moments day in day & day out, just following society protocol, or what I call sheeple mode. So unless you're very observant, & you've noticed behavioral patterns out there, this book most likely will be misunderstood or you will feel that it's a bunch of bs. All in all, this book was made to understand what therapist have said for years, that, "life is all about psychology – psychological warfare." Lastly, this is a manual…… Not just some book that you read through where you're hoping someone tells you what to do plus fluff. This is a very direct manual! You use the talents, abilities and skills you already have and you add this to it. Again, not everyone will be ready for this book or how to utilize it. Good time to get to know yourself if you been stuck in "non reality," for too long. I am enjoying this immensely. Thank you Chase Hughes. Thank you for this amazingly well done masterpiece on "reality."

Whether you're interested in hypnosis, learning about body language and how to read the subtle cues others are giving off, improving your relationships, sales, personal growth and development, or you're just looking to train your first Manchurian Candidate, this book is a MUST READ! Hughes has a grasp of body language analysis that is unparalleled to any other author you have ever read, and the information is concisely organized into a Behavioural Table of Elements for easy reference. This book is 376 pages of solid information; no fluff. It is NOT written so that you can read it, say "well, that was an interesting read", and then put it back on the shelf. You won't get results that way. You WILL get results if you do the work and The Ellipsis Manual it as it's name intends - a MANUAL to improve your performance. The Ellipsis Manual website sells a Training Manual, which breaks the Ellipsis Manual down into a weekly planner that guides you through exercises that are designed to help you master the tools and skills you will learn. I highly recommend that as well because it forces you to apply the learning - not just read it. Chase is someone with 20+ years of training in this field and he walks the talk, he knows his stuff, and he's not writing just to sell books.

Awesome..
