From the author of the multi-million copy bestseller The 48 Laws of Power and The Laws of Human Nature, a mesmerizing handbook on seduction: the most subtle and effective form of power

When raised to the level of art, seduction, an indirect and subtle form of power, has toppled empires, won elections and enslaved great minds. Immerse yourself in the twenty-four maneuvers and strategies of the seductive process, the ritual by which a seducer gains mastery over his target. Understand how to "Poeticize Your Presence," “Keep them in Suspense – What Comes Next” and “Master the Art of the Bold Move”. Every bit as essential as The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction is an indispensable primer of persuasion that reveals one of history's greatest weapons and the ultimate form of power.

Review

Priase for the work of Robert Greene: "Compelling."—Forbes

"Greene’s specialty is analyzing the lives and philosophies of historical figures like Sun Tzu and Napoleon, and extracting from them tips on how to manipulate people and situations—a cutthroat worldview that has earned him a devoted following among a like-minded readership of rappers, drug dealers and corporate executives."—The New York Times

"Illuminating."—The Guardian

“Machiavelli has a new rival. And Sun Tzu had better watch his back. Greene . . . has put together a checklist of ambitious behavior. Just reading the table of contents is enough to stir a little corner-office lust.”—New York magazine

“Beguiling . . . literate . . . fascinating. A wry primer for people who desperately want to be on top.”—People magazine

“An heir to Machiavelli’s Prince . . . gentler souls will find this book frightening, those whose moral compass is oriented solely to power will have a perfect vade mecum.”—Publishers Weekly

The Authoritative Treatment of this Subject

July 27, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I still have over a hundred pages to go, but I think I'm far enough in to give a valid assessment. My main criticism at this point is that it is longer than it needs to be. I've been working my way through this for what feels like months now. At 400+ pages it is a somewhat ponderous read. The author uses voluminous references to literature and world history to illustrate his points about various aspects of seduction. A number of the same stories are repeated in different contexts throughout the work. It is an entertaining read, but I found that I could only take so much at a time before I felt like I was getting bogged down and had to take a break and read something else. As a primer, if you are trying to learn things to be a more effective suitor, I found the wealth of material to be a bit overwhelming to take it all in and retain. So many different approaches and character types are covered. It is the most authoritative and exhaustive treatment of this subject I have seen. I think he deliberately uses inflammatory language for effect, such as calling the target of one's affections a victim. In a number of places he says that you are really learning to give people what they want, so you have to learn to be less self-centered and reactive, which is a good thing.

Scary, but better have and not need than to need and not have.

It’s fairly insidious, but if for no other reason than to recognize the techniques, it’s very useful knowledge. Great book.

I like all the books of Robert Greene. This is one of my favorites so far. It ia very detailed and I would say it's really applicable to everyday life specially if you are dealing with different people most of the time. You will get a lot of key points in this book.

August 27, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Let me say that the rules in this book are tried and true throughout history, and are still being used successfully to this day. Now a lot of people are complaining that this book is a how to guide to being a sociopath. If you approach it from the perspective that you should follow every rule to the T....then yes, this is that, but the reality is that you should take note on these tactics and employ them piecemeal to succeed in seduction and gaining power. You can use these tactics for good as well. Robert Greene himself when asked if he follows all of his rules he said: “Everyone assumes I practise all of my own laws but I don’t. I think anybody who did would be a horrible ugly person to be around,” ..... So use these tactics to succeed. Hell the dating aspect can be used to make sure good people don't get seduced by psychopaths, and you can employ this to get someone you like while help them avoid the genuinely bad.

More of an Awareness Guide than How to Guide.

December 27, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Book basically goes through different types of seductions people naturally do. You may notice you tend to do some, you may notice others doing some to you! As far as learning how to seduce people with this book, I don't think thats a good idea because you never know how another person will react. Esp, if someone doesn't like you, nothing in this book will help you. Its just a inside guide to human behavior and its fun to see how people naturally try to seduce people. As the book says, you cant seduce someone who doesn't want to be seduced. Just be yourself and understand what you do. Someone out there will respond to it naturally. Its just a matter of being around the right person.

I have read the 48 laws of power and it remains one of the best books I have ever owned and I have read the 50th Law and i carry it with me like some people carry the bible (it looks like one).

The Art of Seduction is a very impressive book and you can expect the same quality you got with the 48 laws of power, the same level and type of knowledge and ways to apply it. Personally however, I did not enjoy this book as much as I have enjoyed the others, but your reaction could be very different.

Must buy if you are a fan of Robert Greene and his machiavellian ways to deal with problems.

December 23, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

After reading 48 Laws of Power I was excited to find that there were two more reads in the series- with this being one of them. This book taught me that attraction isn't much about your natural looks but more about how you carry yourself. We all know plenty of people who aren't the best looking but have that star power to command a room and I think this is where the book really shines. You don't even need to be trying to seduce someone, you could just have a desire to be less socially awkward and have a stronger presence...this book will help target where you may be falling short at and how to correct it.

"TO THE VICTOR, GOES THE SPOILS..."

February 14, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Disclaimer... this book is not for you if you are just looking to pick up women to have a one night stand...

Now, with that being said, I can begin my review. Robert Greene is one of my favorite authors. His books are very detailed and he often includes references to verify his use of quotes. The book itself won't be considered a masterpiece by most critics because of the content and the use of the things in the book. Listen to me, the book is on point. The way different types of personalities are broken down, is uncanny. No matter what your preference is, male or female, all people are covered. Or most for that part. The historical references make the book that much better. Looking at the different types of people, I have been able to accurately begin conversations with total strangers. If you learn the lessons written out in the book, you will do ok... Use the book wisely...
