Could You Share Other Abstract Concepts like the Shogun Method?

Just went through the short shogun method and saw it as a rather insightful read as it was describing the foundation to what other techniques you might be trying to simulate. The idea of purposeful manipulation of positive and negative escalation what you might do subjectively through process like negging and push pull. I was wondering if you guys had any other material that might be of a similar abstract approach or can if you describe any.
