The Art of Seduction

The art of seduction doesn’t require you to devise, invent, or create something from nothing, but rather to discover what already exists.
The difference between linguistics is like the difference between diamonds and coal. Both are composed of the same substance: carbon atoms. However, diamonds’ atoms are arranged differently than coal’s and crystallized. This book will help you rearrange your psychological components and undergo this crystallization process so that you can adorn yourself with diamonds and reveal the dust and coal that surrounds you. Seduction is like gravity: we are all subject to its influence and operate according to its laws, whether we realize it or not. Thus, we are all celestial bodies floating in the space of seduction. Among us are bright or dim stars, the sun, planets, moons, meteors, and asteroids. No star dies except for another to be born, and no sun goes out except for another to shine. Who are you in this wonderful system? This is what this book will help you discover so that you can enjoy what nature has bestowed upon you and be at the forefront. Get what you want by playing on everyone’s greatest weakness: the desire for pleasure. Seduction is the most subtle, elusive, and effective form of power. It is evident in John F. Kennedy’s control over the masses and in Cleopatra’s domination of Antony. Now, the author of the bestselling How to Seize Power: 48 Rules to Guide You to It has created a guide that combines the literature of seduction from Freud to Kierkegaard, from Ovid to Casanova, with the ingenious strategies represented by the successes and failures of characters throughout history. Robert Greene once again identifies the timeless laws of the eternal game of seduction, which lie beyond good and evil, and reveals how to cast a spell on a target, break their resistance, and ultimately make them surrender. The Art of Seduction takes us through the personalities and characteristics of the ten major seducer archetypes (including the Siren, the Ideal Lover, the Dandy, the Naturalist, the Charismatic, and the Star) and through the 24 maneuvers by which anyone can overcome the victim’s futile resistance to this timeless art form. Every part of this book is as essential as each of the 48 laws of power. Seduction is an indispensable book on persuasion, which demonstrates one of the greatest weapons in history and the ultimate form of Power.
