The Art of Seduction

Product Information

You find yourself reading and relating so much I can't count the amount of times I've said "I do that" or "He did that. Robert Greene, author of bestselling books including Mastery , The 48 Laws of Power and The Art of Seduction (both from Profile), has a degree in Classical Studies and has been an editor at Esquire and other magazines. The popularity of these books along with their vast and fiercely loyal audience proves these are profound, timeless lessons from historical leaders that still ring true in today's culture. His method was simple: on meeting a woman, he would study her, go along with her moods, find out what was missing in her life, and provide it.

Greene uses Eva Perón, Elvis Presley, Joan of Arc, Grigori Rasputin, Malcolm X, Charles de Gaulle, and Jiddu Krishnamurti as examples. O conteúdo atende, já li a versão reduzida pelo kindle e fiquei curiosa para ler a versão integral, mas a qualidade da impressão é bem mais ou menos. The Rescuer: They long to feel like they’re saving someone from themselves, you must make them feel that they can “save” you from something and they will become obsessed. Most people are insecure; they will wonder what you are up to, and slowly they will come to admire and imitate you, because you express yourself with total confidence.The Art of Seduction explains that surprises work because they create a moment when the defenses come down and new emotions can take in. But if it is the hand-maiden or servant of creative individuation, then it is conventional morality that might stand in the dock. He offers a sound corrective to moralists who, like repressed ideologues in politics, seem to leave more pain and suffering in their wake than do cynics and a-moralists.

There are also a huge amount of historical anecdotes - likely exaggerated to suit the subject matter of the book - and excerpts from other works.By letting you assume you're the one doing the manipulating, the author is playing on your own insecurities about how people perceive and judge you. Give your words a lofty, spiritual, literary flavor the better to insinuate desire in your unwitting victims. It is about the flow of power between sexually alive people and no means to be compared with the 'game' genre of Neil Strauss and others. Avoid the slow burnout, Once you feel disenchanted and know it is over, end it quickly, without apology.
