Publisher's Summary

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.

Wow! What a insightful listen.

Robert Greene is one of the most thorough authors out there. When he tackles a subject, He really does his research. He draws his conclusions regarding human psychology, in this case, seduction, on solid examples from human history and popular literature. Very exciting to listen to, whether or not you agree with his findings, it is a nice walk through human history. Robert’s passion in his subjects shows in his writings. What a pleasure. He is one of the best!

Masterpiece

Having already read The 48 Laws of Power, I can see now that Robert Greene has found a very successful formula for writing books, as the general format is quite similar between these two books. There is a charming overlap (and not superfluous) of concepts covered in the books as well, as they are both inextricably linked.

Naysayers of the book will say that it's manipulation, but as Greene aptly pointed out in the book, to reject these concepts and believe that you are immune to being seduced, then you are putting yourself in a vulnerable and unsuspecting position. Someone will come along that dazzles you, whether in your business or personal life, and if you aren't educated on the subject, all you can hope for is that they aren't malevolent. Even if they aren't that doesn't mean they'll cause you pain and anguish. It's up to you to be prepared.

After reading this book I can now confidently identify all the times I was unconsciously competent and incompetent in the past. Very empowering.

Epic book.

Though weird that someone would call people targets and victims. Oh, this book is probably for pickup artists…

Very informative

Though most of the scenarios are in reference to attaining “victims” as the author likes to call it for seduction, it is fairly easy to manipulate the same strategies to excel in a business environment which in turn is much more productive.
