Über diesen Titel

Robert Greene's previous best seller, The 48 Laws of Power, distilled 3,000 years of scheming into a guide People praised as "beguiling... literate... fascinating" and Kirkus denounced as "an anti-Book of Virtues."

In Art of Seduction, Greene returns with a new instruction audiobook on the most subtle, elusive, and effective form of power because seduction isn't really about sex. It's about manipulating other people's greatest weakness: their desire for pleasure.

Synthesizing the work of thinkers including Freud, Diderot, Nietzsche, and Einstein, reporting the enticing strategies of characters throughout history, The Art of Seduction is a comprehensive guide to getting what we want any way we can.

Interesting subject but after a while you feel a bit stuck in a wheel of repeating characters appearing in anecdotes - Cleopatra, Salome, Casanova, Lord Biron… I think the book could easily have been reduced to 2/3 of what it is. Further most of the seduction is straight manipulation and doesn’t really sound healthy - not sure what to draw from it. All in all I enjoyed it rather for the historical/literature input than anything else.

A bit repetitive but interesting

very interesting - would recommend for everyone who wants to learn more about seduction (not only sexual seduction but it's a big part)

This is quite what i expected from the author. But still he surprises me a lot. With this knowledge you can transform your life into a whole library of novells about Romance and political influence.

This is not an audiobook, but a manifesto!

A must read for any one that works with people or need to improve social skills
Very intriguing

These days we know it's difficult to put people into fixed categories, however, it was interesting to hear about the perspectives and philosophies listed by the author. I recommend reading more contemporary literature on the psychology of personality types and to consider this a fun read rather than an educational one.

One philosophy

The book is divided in two parts: in the first the author provides a catalogue of various types of "seducers", their "victims" and types of interactions between them. The second part is a cold-blooded "tutorial" on seduction.

While the book is probably popular in some weird circles (pick up artists subculture), I found the first part of the book still interesting and intriguing. On the one hand the author does not make any attempt at a scientific backing of his boastful categorisation (and as such is purely anecdotal and backed by his own selective readings of historic novels and biographies), on the other, the catalogue is not completely pointless. Some of the "archetypes" definitely make sense and some of the interactions descriptions are so widespread that I found it indeed useful to get an opportunity to dissect their dynamics deeper. So in that sense, the first part of the book was definitely worth reading and thinking about, even if there's zero backing of what author writes about in modern evidence-based psychology. So OK there.

Having said that, I found the second part of the book utterly boring and useless - and in fact couldn't even finish it. It is written in a form of a "manual/tutorial" on seduction (i.e., manipulation) without any regard of the facts that such fake social game is cynical and pointless (to say the least) - especially if one is after genuine and authentic human interactions - and also non-executable by and thereby inaccessible to most "normal" types of personalities. To execute a manipulation in a cold-blooded manner as the author describes and perhaps even deriving some pleasure from it, one needs to be already at least somewhat-pathological personality, so the whole exercise is very much purely theoretical - by definition, the vast majority of people (fortunately!) are not like that. But I see the appeal this can make on some hapless human creatures this is actually targeted at. Good luck there boys and girls!

Overall, interesting topic. If written as tongue-in-cheek, it would pass, but looking at other books by the author, I cannot escape the feeling that this is just a part of a business model on his side targeting emotionally immature people with manuals on "how to interact with and exploit their fellow humans and play power games" and such. For the majority of sane folks, I rather recommend Eric Berne's "Games People Play" and generally topics in transactional analysis as an antidote to this book.

A somewhat useful dissection of laws of attraction

Das Buch leiert wiederholt sehr Oberflächliche und einseitige Gedanken über Liebe und Verführung herunter. Es werden zwar einige Literarische und Historischr Beispiele genannt, durch die obsessive Verwendung von Superlativen (it's the ULTIMATE... gives you ABSOLUTE...) und ein übermässig dichotomes Weltbild ohne jegliche Graustufen stumpft der Inhalt schnell ab.
