About the author

Hey there, I’m Chase Hughes.
If you're here, you’re already on a path to uncover some of the deepest insights into human behavior, influence, and the way we move through the world. Whether you're interested in decoding body language, mastering communication, or exploring the art of persuasion, you're in the right place.
You've probably already discovered that success in life, no matter how you define it, comes down to those critical three elements: Self-Mastery, Observation (our ability to read people, and read the room), and Communication (our ability to communicate and lead based on how we see the world).
I’ve spent a lifetime obsessed with how the mind works—how we can unlock the power within ourselves to shape our surroundings, connect with others, and ultimately, lead lives of impact. My books are designed to give you more than knowledge; they’re tools to help you transform the way you see and influence the world around you.
So, dive in. Explore. And remember—true power comes from understanding yourself and the people around you.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseWow.. Just wow:) Finally one location for often fragmented information on understanding human responses. Calls for paying close attention when getting a read on another human or group.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI thought this would be an extremely watered-down version of Chase’s large textbook-esque work, but I was incorrect. The hugely positive reviews are accurate. It’s approachable yet information-packed and highly recommended as a first step into the world of understanding human behavior. You won’t be disappointed.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2025Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase"Six-Minute X-Ray" is a masterclass in rapid behavior profiling. Chase Hughes combines decades of intelligence expertise into a clear, actionable system for understanding people at a depth that feels almost unfair. This book arms you with the ability to see past surface-level interactions and quickly uncover hidden fears, values, and motivations — in under six minutes. Whether you're a leader, negotiator, coach, or entrepreneur, these techniques will change how you connect with others forever. Highly recommended for anyone serious about elevating their interpersonal intelligence. After reading it, I immediately grabbed a copy of "The Ellipsis Manual" which is also incredible.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2025Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseI can not say enough about this book or it's author. I have been studying for 30 years and I have never seen works like this. The book is a lot to take in all at once so you will most likely go through this book several times to get it all I take my hat off to mr hughes. There is zero bologna in this book the best one I have ever seen and I have read hundreds. The best buy you can make on the subject guaranteed.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2025Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThis is the information I have been looking for. Concise and to the point without a lot of psycho- babble and meaningless jargon.
I have studied a number of personality and behavior profiling methods over my career in sales and management in a search for better ways to ‘read’ customers, employees and colleagues without much satisfaction. After reading this book, I am looking forward to putting this information into practice.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2025Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseGood book. One page had fallen out and put back in in the wrong place. Cheap qc somewhere on the line
- Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2025Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseWonderful information for any human being who would like to have an addition layer of awareness when interacting in any social situation.

Ewa WronaReviewed in the Netherlands on April 18, 20255.0 out of 5 stars New Hobby!
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseAfter reading Six-Minute X-Ray, I can confidently say that this book has changed the way I perceive interactions with people. Chase Hughes introduces us to the fascinating world of behavior analysis and psychology in a way that is both accessible and deeply practical. If you’ve ever wondered what truly lies behind people’s words and gestures, this book is for you. Hughes provides not only theoretical knowledge, but also concrete techniques that allow you to read a person’s intentions and emotions in just a few minutes. This is a real art that can be mastered and applied in everyday life, whether you work in sales, interpersonal relationships, or simply want to understand the people around you better. What makes Six-Minute X-Ray stand out from other books on psychology? Above all – its approach. Hughes doesn’t just give tools for analysis, but also explains how to effectively use them to become more aware and sensitive to the signals others are sending. After reading this book, I guarantee that you’ll have a new hobby – not just reading people, but also gaining a deeper understanding of yourself. Six-Minute X-Ray is a book that opens doors to new, exciting possibilities. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their communication skills and gain an edge in their relationships with others. It’s a must-read!
