The CARVER Mindset: How to Think Like a Spy

In the world of intelligence, the word “spy” is rarely used as a noun.

In fact, it’s rarely used at all.

The correct term for a field operative is “case officer,” while his/her source (who typically commits treason against their host nation) is referred to as an “asset” or “agent.”

Among the public at large, the practice of gathering intelligence – spying – is even less understood.

But beyond the murky world of intelligence and espionage, there are special techniques (known as “tradecraft”) used by these professionals that can provide great value to ordinary people.

One of the most unique of these tactics is a little-known acronym

called CARVER.

Luke Bencie’s The CARVER Mindset reveals how anyone can use the basics of spycraft to their advantage.

Luke takes readers through those basics to help them gain better situational awareness, make quicker and smarter decisions, assess their opponent’s weaknesses, and even gain greater influence over others.

In short, The CARVER Mindset can become both behavioral bible and survival guide.

As Luke writes in his Introduction, the book can become

“your intelligence pyramid for years to come.”

Regardless of your profession, the ability to think like a spy will give you a leg up in business, with your relationships, on travel, and in

everyday situations.
