Get what you want
by manipulating everyone’s greatest weakness: the desire for pleasure.
Seduction is the
most subtle, elusive and effective form of power. It’s as evident in John F.
Kennedy’s hold over the masses as it is in Cleopatra’s hold over Anthony. Now
the author of the best selling 48 Laws of Power has written a handbook
synthesizing the classic literature of seduction from Freud to Kierkegaard and
Ovid to Casanova with cunning strategies illustrated by the successes and
failures of the characters throughout history.
And once again 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 takes us through the characters and qualities of the ten archetypal
figures of seduction (including the Siren, the Ideal Lover, the Dandy, the
Natural, The Charismatic, and the Star) and the twenty-four manoeuvres by which
anyone can overcome a victim’s futile resistance to the practice of this
devastating and timeless art form.
Every bit as
essential The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction is an indispensable primer
of persuasion that reveals one of history’s greatest weapons and ultimate form
of power.
