Editorial Review:

Product Description:
This mesmerizing exploration of the most subtle, elusive, and effective form of power is a masterful analysis of civilization's greatest seducers, from Cleopatra to JFK, as well as the classic literature of seduction from Freud to Kierkegaard and Ovid to Casanova. Robert Greene once again 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. Presenting the timeless profiles of each type of seducer and the twenty-four maneuvers that will guide you step by step in the game of seduction, The Art of Seduction is an indispensable primer of persuasion that reveals the timeless power of this age-old art.

- Delicious, enjoyable, and highly useful
Everyone, at some point, seduces another.

Everyone, at some point, is an object of seduction.

The trick is, in either role, to savour the moment. And learn from it. And that's what makes this book so very useful and enjoyable!

But you have to be prepared to put aside those ephemeral notions of "good" and "evil". And you might as well quit worrying about "manipulation", because every last human being manipulates. It's human nature.

This book is not merely about seducing someone for sex. What is it about? It is about making someone, or someones, react favorably to you, or to make them do something that you wish. To win them over, to attract, or to entice.

And I must say, this is one of the most delicious books I have read in a very long time!

- I only read one page so far, its dam good!
For some reason I fall asleep after reading less than half a page of anything. I did manage to read about a paragraph that explains charisma is seduction on a large scale. Wow that makes sense. I like the book just from reading that. So anyways someday I will read it, someday.

- Phenomenal book
Although I bought and read this book shortly after I relocated to the United States - that was years ago - I did not write a review for it. Today I wrote three reviews for items I purchased from Amazon.com and I just saw this book on the nightstand where I left it yesterday. I am reading it for a second time and I realized that I should write the long due review.

Well, it is a phenomenal book, well grounded in the science of psychology and in human nature. And since human nature remains unaltered through the ages, I would say that it is a timeless book. Whether you read it today or one hundred years from today you will benefit from the wealth of knowledge in it. The author is clearly very well educated and has conducted a thorough research before writing it. I have studied psychology and I have to say that I learned a few more things about psychology just by reading this book. Highly recommended.

- Not a "How-To" manual...
But a great book none-the-less. There is a great deal of "take away" but you have to work for it. Otherwise, the historical references are very engrossing. I bought this in conjuction with Secrets of the A Game and The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists - all have been helpful.
