The Art of Seduction
Product Description
Robert Greene’s previous bestseller, 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 book 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.

The money can be better spent on a nice glass of wine.
I got this book as a gift and made the mistake of leaving it lying around. Unless you’re in a relationship already and your girlfriend is cool with it, hide it or get rid of it. I had a date who turned an ran as soon as she saw it. I tossed it the second the door clicked close.
Other than that, I couldn’t really get into it enough to make a judgemnt about how good it is.
The best I can say for Robert Greene is that he is an entertaining writer.This book is pretty much “The Rules” with a literary bent and an intellectual pretense. O.K., maybe some of this stuff will work — but if you want a real, lasting relationship, this is not how to do it. If you are very young, and naive, this book may give you some insight into the psychological motives of some of those who would take advantage of you. Greene has a point, but his stance of manipulate before others manipulate you, is in the long run, not going to make the world a better place. Nor will it give the mature adult a true sense of happiness. If you want a one night stand, try this stuff, it will probably work. If you want a lasting relationship, this is not how to do it.Apply this stuff to the media and politics, and it lends some insight to how politics and the media manipulate the public.Finally, this book does address both sexes (unlike many books of this genre dedicated to making mostly women feel horribly insecure) yet I found the text to be more male-oriented.This book is pretty pretentious stuff, but I have to hand it to the writer, it was a fun (but sometimes repetitive) read.Don’t take this stuff too seriously, kids.
I have tried to get an Order # for this purchase and nothing comes up. My credit card was charged but the book was never received. Can you please provide me with the sellers info.
if you are looking for something to help you actually get dates or improve your skills with the opposite sex – this will do nothing for you at all.
unless you think that going out in the our 21st with a bea brummell pompadour or cassanova cravat will help you. good luck
this cd only tells about people who lived hundreds or thousands of years ago. it is atheistic and based on the premise that there anything good is an illusion and constantly talks about your ‘victim’.
so if you want to try this CD serious keep in mind that you will complete possibly entertained though guaranteed to have NOTHING to show for it
