How to Read People, Spot Manipulation & Protect Yourself | Chase Hughes

from The Adversity Advantage with Doug Bopst · host Doug Bopst

Chase Hughes is the founder and CEO of Applied Behavior Research, a leading expert in the field of human behavioral science, and a neuroscientist. After serving in the U.S. Navy for 20 years, Chase developed world-class behavior science tools, such as rapid behavior profiling and enhanced persuasion techniques, which he teaches to the United States military, law enforcement, Fortune-500 CEOs, doctors, attorneys, executives, and intelligence organizations. Today on the show we discuss: the early red flags of dangerous manipulators and why dopamine draws people into toxic dynamics, the biggest body language myths alongside the core framework for detecting real behavioral changes, why analyzing language patterns and word choices reveals far more about someone than physical movements, how to tell the difference between genuine insecurity and harmful manipulation, tactical interrogation techniques to uncover the truth and defend against gaslighting, and how to shift your perspective to build authentic connections without the fear of social judgment and much more.
