About this listen

When raised to the level of art, seduction, an indirect and subtle form of power, has toppled empires, won elections, and enslaved great minds. The Art of Seduction synthesizes the legacies of civilization's greatest seducers - from Cleopatra to JFK - with the philosophies of important intellectuals on the subject, including everyone from Freud to Kierkegaard and Ovid to Casanova, and the classic literature of seduction. Robert Greene identifies the rules of a timeless, amoral game and explores how to cast a spell, break down resistance, and, ultimately, compel a target to surrender. The Art of Seduction is an indispensable primer on the essence of one of history's greatest weapons and the ultimate form of power.

Helpful for anyone seeking to understand places like the Tudor court, or our government. Really helps you to understand people with no morals!

So much of the great book was left out by the reader. I have read the paper back version.

Good book, but the reader left out so much

This book should be titled ‘The Abuser’s Guide to Romance’. Some of the techniques were relatively lighthearted but most were cruel and extremely abusive. However, I can’t give this book a poor rating as the author is spot on. I can confirm that the techniques are highly effective. In addition to counselling, I would recommend this book to anyone who has been broken down, and has had their entire life dismantled, by another person. Sections will be triggering (the section on how to isolate a person from everything and everyone that they love was particularly uncomfortable) but I truly believe it will help to avoid repeating experiences with these hideous people.

This is a book about manipulation and taps into to a persons childhood in order to exploit them for your advancement and progress, terrible content.
