The Art of Seduction

Product Information

They bring us back to that time by embodying those child-like qualities such as spontaneity and sincerity. The less your targets focus on what you say, and the more on how it makes them feel, the more seductive your effect.

Like Tim Ferriss's The 4-Hour Workweek, this book is packed full of useful information that you would want to come back to again and again, which is something difficult to do with audio format. Robert Greene, the author, delves into the psychology of dating and seduction, including the more Machiavellian aspects of seducing people independently of who gets hurt.American Apparel founder and CEO Dov Charney found the book to be a fascinating study in human behavior. This book is not set as an 'How to' guide but as an entertaining and historical account of the use of seduction throughout history. Blushing, trembling of the voice, tears, unusually forceful laughter, relaxing movements of the body (any kind of involuntary mirroring, their gestures imitating yours), a revealing slip of the tongue— these are signs that the victim is slipping into the moment and pressure is to be applied. Greene saw The Art of Seduction as the logical follow-up to The 48 Laws of Power since seduction is "about power and manipulation as much as it is about romance, about how to make someone fall under your spell. It is rather because wordless communication (through clothes, gestures, actions) is the most pleasurable, exciting, and seductive form of language.

It will also teach you to things and character traits about yourself you had perhaps not noticed before.Instead he gives you a crash course on how to manipulate, use, and discard the "object, target, or victim" of your seduction. The person who will be entranced by this book will be the natural seducer, one who takes simple pleasure in pleasure and treats life like a game. We all have some insecurities about our physical appearances and if we only appeal to the physical we risk making our targets insecure and doubtful. The Sensualist: Driven by their senses, you must overwhelm their site, smell, and touch, to fully draw them in. If you can get past the blatant misogyny and the fact he uses the word "victim" on about every page I guess it has some value in cold calculating machiavellian way.
