Why read it?
2 authors picked The Art of Seduction as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I have to admit it: Iām pretty sure I bought this book in my early twenties with less-than-pure intentions. It didnāt end up doing much for my romantic life, but it changed the way I think forever after.
In writing about how to get attractive people to fall into your arms (and into your bed), Robert Greene makes no distinction between seducing an individual and seducing an audience of millions. Itās one of those books that makes you feel like you want to take a shower. Then again, most of my favorite books make me feel that way.
From Michael's list on get people to do what you want.
When Iām coaching people to improve their dating lives, I like to teach them that thereās not one way to be attractive. Creating attraction with someone is like rummaging around in your archetype toolbox and finding what makes you uniquely attractive. Robert Greene takes a literal romp through fictional, and historical seductive characters to get to the essence of what makes them so compelling; along the way cajoling you to learn their tricks.Ā
From Hayley's list on crushing it at dating and feel great being single.
