Rating: Summary: Almost as beneficial as the Bible Review: Several months ago I only read the Bible. Now I only read the Art of Seduction and the Bible. this book is an eye-opener. Not just to get a girl or boy in your life, but it teaches you how people are and how you are.I must compliment the author. The writers of other books in this genre like Irresistable Attraction and How to get laid today- the system, need to read this book. It will help them to write better books that match the titles they put on them. The Art of Seduction is in-depth to say the least. Regardless to who you are or what you believe, you will learn alot from this book. This is a sort of handbook on how to get through life. Mr. Greene should produce a workbook and/or study guide to accompany this one. Its like an information treasure chest. If you are looking for books on self-help, relationships or otherwise, you need this one. Its not a want, its a need.
Rating: Summary: Machiavelli and sun tzu, on love... Review: According to this book, Seduction, like war, is an art that requires reflection, preparation, planning, stealth, patience, and yes: emotional detachment. This is not your regular self-help book that gives tips, advice and tactics about seduction; this is a book that helps you develop well thought strategies for seducing people, which starts with a thorough observation of your target.. depending on your "victim", the strategy's execution can take up to years... The work is not for the faint hearted, for it will take a lot off the spontaneity and charm which a lot of people associate with courting, and can lead to a lot of adversity (for both the seducer and the victim) when things go awry... but it is surely a good resource for people who keep on asking themselves: what went wrong, why didn't things work out with us... Although this sort of seduction is not my style, the book is quite well researched, and the best available about the subject
Rating: Summary: The Art of Seduction Review: A GUIDE TO MENTAL RAPE The book lacks of motives for this sick, ruthless, unethical game of destroying another person! Unfortunately I belong to the category of "prey" and "victims". My weakness was that such sick thinking was beyond my comprehension and any ethical values I know. The book gives the creeps. I guess you can call that a quality, but a book also needs to be evaluated when it is transferred to real life, what it does to people and what type of people it attracts: vicious, evil, devious, sadistic and cruel. A book that shows the strategy of how to conquer, control, devaste and destroy another human being just for your own satisfaction!! .... and then?
Rating: Summary: Good Book! Review: This book is about the art of seduction. It is NOT a How-To-Guide. This is the long way towards developing a seducing charismatic persona. It doesn't tell you what to do. It rather lets you understand the inner workings of seduction and allows you to develop it by yourself. It researches and displays the seduction techniques used by the best seducers known in history and does so in an interesting rich style. If this book doesn't leave you with a greater understanding of the psychology of seduction you either already understand everything or are unwilling to learn. This book along with the How-To manual Stumbling Naked in the Dark by Bradley Fenton are my two favorites.
Rating: Summary: good book but check the System by Roy valentine Review: this book is very good and teach you anything that you want to know about seduction , the anecdocte and description are entertaining . But I also read the system by roy valentine it's an awsome book. those two book combine together give you all information you need to know about getting girls............
Rating: Summary: Knowledge is Power Review: I was a little skeptical of this book when I first got it but I was pleasantly surprised. The author really seems to have studied history and psychology very deeply. His insights into the unconscious drives and archetypes are spectacular. This book is not just a primer for wannabe Casanova's but also good for defensive purposes. When I got this book I was actually under "attack" by a would-be seducer. Had this enchanting young lady only wanted sex there wouldn't have been a problem, but she wanted to enslave me for other reasons. This book allowed me to see what was going on and enabled me to break the spell before it was too late. If you want to use the knowledge in this book for your own seductions keep in mind that it takes a great deal of self-discipline to seduce someone. You must be master of yourself first before you can master someone else. It is very difficult for instance to do a strategic "withdraw" from the object of your desire when every fiber of your being wants to be with them. But if you can control yourself and trust the process I think the knowledge in this book can help anyone seduce the object of his or her desire.
Rating: Summary: Talk about manipulation Review: Ok, this book teaches you the sneaky ways of seducing people. I admit, I didn't give this book much of a chance. Was I wrong. It's reccomended reading on my list now.
Rating: Summary: Seduction personified Review: This is one of my new favorite books. (The other is John Fate's The Nice Guys' Guide to Getting Girls.) I never knew much about seduction before reading this book. Im kinda shy so seducing people is somewhat hard and challenging for me. But this book is really good. It talks about 9 different types of seducers and gives examples for each one, which was really helpful. These books are recommended to anyone who has no idea about the art of seduction, or even if you know a lot about it. They're great books that have a lot of good info. Greene & Fate know what they're talking about!
Rating: Summary: Money well spent! Review: I highly suggest this book to anyone who has trouble in the relationship department. The Art of Seduction is a no holds barred approach to seduction, the art of using another person's emotions towards you to gain what you want from them be it sex, money, or companionship. Mr. Greene pays no attention to the lofty ideals of romantic bliss, such as Romeo and Juliet, except for pointing out the weakness of such thoughts in a "victim". If your are one of these people I suggest you read the book to notice the signs of being seduced. There are countless comparisons of seduction and warfare scattered through out the text. Personally, I acquired the book in order to understand what had went wrong in previous relationships and was very pleased to find the answers in these masterfully written pages. The book begins by listing several archetypes of seducers such as the Charmer, the Coquette, and the Rake. You are to find which one of these qualities fits you, use it to your advantage and learn to recognize these traits in other people. There is also a very useful section on anti-seductive qualities which you must root out from your character. Following the types of seducers is a section on the types of victims ranging from Reformed Rake or Siren to New Prudes. After the introductory lessons of seducers and victims comes the meat of the book which breaks seduction down into 24 steps. For every seducer, victim, and step of the seduction process there is at least one example and several sidenotes. The key to a successful seduction is not giving the victim what they THINK they want, but getting to know them well enough that you can supply what they need. This book is written extremely well and is easy to follow and apply. However, several readers will view the book as too amoral. Without a doubt the information provided is held to no standards of morality or society. The way you use the information is at your own discretion, personally I am now able to recognize others applying seduction to gain something from me and I have employed some of The Art of Seduction tactics to improve personal relationships. In life, you decide whether to be the wolf that preys on the sheep or the sheep who simply exists. If nothing more this book will provide validation for several of the questions you may have about people around you and whether they are a sheep, a wolf, or a wolf in sheep's clothing. Mr. Greene doesn't use the analogy of wolf and sheep but I think it helps to convey the message. If you wish to interact with society I suggest you read this book and apply it's message. That is unless you are a completely contented person and have no kind of psychological hang-ups, in which case the contents of this book are much less relevant. However I doubt there are many of you reading this who can honestly claim to have complete happiness. As Robert Greene states, people who are content and psychologically stable have little chance of being seduced.
Rating: Summary: Eyebrow Raising Psychological Expose Review: As I browsed the Psychology section of a local bookstore, a chic-looking black and pink book caught my eye. The Art of Seduction. It was a large volume. I had always thought seduction was simple enough. Reveal a little skin, show some interest, have confidence. Intriuged, I flipped through the book and found examples of seductive archetypes, and the possible outcomes of psychological knowledge put to use. The human mind has always fascinated me. Why people fall in love (or in lust) with certain people is one of the most intricate, mysterious inqueries ever. This book gives some raw insight on mind games. It is so refreshing to find a book the isn't sugar-coated with political correctedness and obnoxious sentiments about "true love." While I have neither the patience nor the commitment to actually put these tactics to use, I got a rush out of reading about it. It's like you know a secret. And if need be, that secret can be a powerful weapon.
