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.

"[Greene's] literary survey is fascinating." (Booklist)

These are the things you think are happening to you in your head and gaslight yourself out of because people can’t be that evil. News flash! They can be. People are animals too. This book is great for awareness to our animal nature or shadow. I got this book to protect myself from manipulation only to find that I have subconsciously committed a few of these things. Know thyself. I am the ideal and the dandy and I didn’t even know.

Nuanced subject. Brave author. Shadow work.

I will say the same thing I said about 48 Laws of Power. A lot of the advices seem fictional, dating way too far back to ne applicable to how the society operates today. Although, the human psychology is still the same in some ways, it has changed drastically.

Great storytelling
