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 consider myself a nice guy, but I must say I loved this audio. It brings to light some things that may have been used on you or even that you may have used on someone and not even of realized it. I don't regret getting the audio. Thanks.

Dark, I loved it!

This book is by far the makings of a classic. Deviously insightful, it challenged many of my precepts and ideals . . . The art of seduction is a lethal step into the darkside of love and life . . . James Baldwin once said "The Price one pays for pursuing any calling is an intimate knowledge of its ugly side" . . .

The Art of Seduction has a very structured format throughout, a fantastic narrator, who keeps the pace of the book alive . . . Histrionic to a degree, Robert Greene substantiates his theories on the Seductive Process with authority and the support of Great figures throughout time. One reviewer said the book was slimy . . . in a way . . . yes . . .the use of the word Victim (the person you aim your seduction at) at one point made the hairs on the back of my neck raise . . . how offensive . . .

. . . How honest . . . The Art of Seduction IS BY NATURE Offensive . . . not in the politically correct sense, but in the "Game Plan" sense . . . its not defensive . . . it doesn't make excuses for itself . . . simply put . . . this book is the truth ... heaven forbid it fall into the wrong hands.

This is a very very good book. It explains different types of people and helps the reader understand how people think. It is always a game and those the play the game the best turn out on top. This book teaches how you can get the most out of your relationships but most importantly it teaches the reader how you can get over that intial hump of uncertainty that starts every relationship.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Art of Seduction to be better than the print version?

It was so much more effective for me to actually hear these words spoken as oppesed to reading them because of many reasons. For one, I was listening to him speak as if he was a professor giving me a lecture on this as the course. I was really into each chapter, I am really glad that i now have it, to hear whenever I please.

What did you like best about this story?

I love how Robert Green uses examples of events that happened in history to explain one of his theories. He is an awesome author, and teacher.

Which scene was your favorite?

All

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

All of them, and it's cool how i can refer back to my audio book, wherever and whenever i want. Complete freedom. Very efficient for my scheduale.

Any additional comments?

I LOVE AUDIBLE.COM!!!

I’m not a big fan of teaching people how to be manipulative. I think that’s completely what’s wrong with the world that we sell this as it’s some form of true power I’m disappointing in the marketing such filth in the world.
