About this listen

Robert Greene's previous best seller, The 48 Laws of Power, distilled 3,000 years of scheming into a guide People praised as "beguiling... literate... fascinating" and Kirkus denounced as "an anti-Book of Virtues."

In Art of Seduction, Greene returns with a new instruction audiobook on the most subtle, elusive, and effective form of power because seduction isn't really about sex. It's about manipulating other people's greatest weakness: their desire for pleasure.

Synthesizing the work of thinkers including Freud, Diderot, Nietzsche, and Einstein, reporting the enticing strategies of characters throughout history, The Art of Seduction is a comprehensive guide to getting what we want any way we can.

this book is a novel take on the old PUA manuals, pulling real historical information to generate timeless principles for generating deep connections rather than cheap tricks that may work for a night. A must read for anyone serious about seduction and an engaging lesson for those who aren't

Would recommend, Greene breaks down various stories of seducers and their interpretations. Slightly lengthy but interesting nonetheless.

Great read

I think this is a good book so you can see when other people are using these tactics but the words "seduction" and "emotional manipulation" mean the same thing in this book. You'd have to be a sociopath to follow all of Greene's advice.

Not a book on healthy relationships!
