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.

I loved this book.
From what I learnt about being manipulated because I'm a softy. Interesting to see it from my own relational experience, also the parts I have played that have come naturally to me.
If you want a deep meaningful relationship this isn't the book to learn from, but a good tool in looking for signs of being manipulated and played. Could be confusing if you read peoples behaviour by applying this to the letter.
Very interesting and thought provoking.

I love the historical references.
