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.

Good book, but the reader left out so much

So much of the great book was left out by the reader. I have read the paper back version.

Insightful, but audible is incomplete

I thought the book was good, but the audible recording leaves out much of the book. Great if you want the giste, but read the book to get all of the information.

I liked that it gave insight on myself and others & how to bring back sparks in lengthy partnerships... I do feel though that a lot of people will use this for the wrong reasons.
