The Art Of Seduction By Robert Greene

The Art of Seduction by Robert Greene (Paperback, Penguin Publishing Group, October 7, 2003; 512 pages) explores seduction as one of history’s most potent—and subtle—forms of power. Greene maps out 24 strategic techniques and profiles nine seductive archetypes—such as the Siren, the Rake, the Ideal Lover, the Charmer, and the Star—drawing on case studies from Cleopatra, Casanova, John F. Kennedy, and Marilyn Monroe . This mesmerizing handbook teaches how indirect influence has toppled empires, won elections, and shaped human behavior. A controversial yet essential guide for students of psychology, leadership, influence, and persuasion
