About this listen

When raised to the level of art, seduction, an indirect and subtle form of power, has toppled empires, won elections, and enslaved great minds. The Art of Seduction synthesizes the legacies of civilization's greatest seducers - from Cleopatra to JFK - with the philosophies of important intellectuals on the subject, including everyone from Freud to Kierkegaard and Ovid to Casanova, and the classic literature of seduction. Robert Greene 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. The Art of Seduction is an indispensable primer on the essence of one of history's greatest weapons and the ultimate form of power.

Great book. Lots of phsychology on sexes and their relationship. Explains pretty good why nice guys finish last. While it would be too much for me personally to use ALL rules and instructions in this book, but I can definitely use many of them. Also it definately helped me understand the other people's actions and my reaction to them much better. I would say the book is much more useful for guys rather than women. Guys, read it.

I've been listening to this book non-stop! Many ideas correspond with ideas in other seduction programs. It made me realize what I need to do and what direction I need to shift. It could give more tangible examples like the other seduction programs. But it still is inspirational and practical!

Addictively Awesome!

Although the Narrator is quit monotoned it plays an almost vicarious role in making the story more compelling and impactful. The knowledge to be retrieved from the story is incalculable and is harmoniously enhanced by the narrators bleak and drier voice with back up by an deliberate but uninvited inflection towards mischievous intentions. To only, yet again be derailed by the sense of passion. The powerful nature of the listen is only made more symbolic by the small package of listening time yet an immersive audio experience. Highly recommended for those who have the list for knowledge and self awareness!

The use of seduction that is disguised in this book can be misleading. In the beginning you’re led to think this book is mostly about romance and using the art of sex and victimization to the retrieve a desire, but in all actuality I think he breaks down the most significant factor of power that being how malleable the mind is ESPECIALLY once sex is involved . I believe Greene wanted to see how manipulation rules the world he explores it on the account of one’s age, one’s politics etc - this book has all the necessary elements to check one’s own manipulative tendencies. I loved it! Highly recommend

Not for the weak minded

The chapters are just marked every hour or so. It should be sectioned into something like 50 parts, but it isn't. If you want to go over a specific section, you will have to guess and look for it.

Not Split Up Into Chapters Properly

The power in Greene's books is his real-life examples. The full print edition will supply you with those.

Fantastic audio narrator!

Good abridgment. But read the full print version.

I enjoyed the book, because it points out interesting psychology. However, it never discusses the long term impact of seduction.

Great book but leads to immorality.

This book was insightful but for whatever reason didn’t resonate with me like the others that Greene has published.
