The Art of Seduction

An Indispensible Primer on the Ultimate Form of Power

De: Robert Greene

Narrado por: Jeff David

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

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

Great narration, interesting material

Be advised that this approaches seduction from both a historical perspective, a psychological perspective, and a fair bit of "how to". Though some of the recommendations are questionable, the narrator's style is capitvating and elevates the material. Those looking for a "step-by-step" guide to seduction would do better buying another audiobook. Those looking for a relaxing, informative, and interesting listening experience have found the right book.

Morally debase but interesting

Yes as the others have said this book is completely lacking in moral principles but we're talking seduction here, what did you expect?
While I don't agree with many of his ideas I found his stories compelling and his insights into human nature profound.
It was educational and entertaining. Keep your morality in perspective and just appreciate it for what it is.

Helpful.

A good book I certainly recommend it.

Every one can benefit from learning this.

Wow I discovered so much that I will need to read this again to really learn and understand better. I don’t think I can use any of this information at this point in life unless I really really have to. My personality it’s already established and “trying” any of this info/ techniques with others; to me will be a hypocritical and manipulative action. I wish I read this book when I was younger.

The narrator brought this book to life

I have read all of Robert Green’s book. AOS was the first book I read by RG and I’ve been a fan ever since. Art of Seduction is my favorite. I’ve bought and recommended it to my friends through out the years. Only negative thing is that this audio book is a very abridged version of the original book. Wish Audible could get an unabridged version of The Art of Seduction. “The Cat’s Claw”.

The Reader Was Boring!

For a book teaching about seduction, there was absolutely nothing seductive - or even entertaining about the narrator’s voice. It’s a shame because Robert Greene has a great way of telling old stories to make his points!

Robert is a magician!

In yet another timeless piece, Robert manages to aptly seduce the reader/ listener while teaching them about seduction. It was spellbinding.

how overall the work is explained so realÿ smoothly

liked everything I'm really surprised about the whole thing very good insights on life. 😆

a must listen

I wish I had listenend to this 20 years ago. Excellent advice and narration. Understanding psychology is so important to navigate the world.

Interesting but somewhat pointless

Interesting to break seduction down into behaviors. Not really sure what you practically do with that, though.
