Harpers and Queen
A good harmless flirting session reawakens the senses and lifts confidence. 'The Art of Seduction' is an essential primer.

Synopsis
Seduction is the most effective, elusive and subtle way of taking someone in your power. Whether power, money or lust is the motive, this book is the ultimate self-help manual. Written with the same wit and style as the 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction is also sensuously designed, exquisitely printed in two colours, and filled with historical examples from Cleopatra to Casanova. Which sort of seducer could you be: Siren? Rake? Cold Coquette? Star? Comedian? Charismatic? or Saint?

Customer Reviews

Not a 'how to' guide
This nothing like the 'Mystery method' and the like.

It is more like a tabulation of historical facts.
If you've liked the '48 rules of power' then you may like this one too.

Very interesting
Good one. It provide you with a lot of good facts, so you can make good opinions about what's going on.

But for dating "starters" I recommend any easier book. That one can make you bored very soon.

Careful
This book offers the knowledge of power over other people. You can learn how to get them to do what you want. You can manipulate them. I would have liked to have seen more examples of use in today's time by average people, instead of all historical figures and times. Just be careful not to go too far. Hopefully, the people reading the book have some morals and won't abuse the power, which could easily happen. Alot of guys read this just for the use of the power on women. But it's more than that. It's power on people in general. A very insightful read. Other good reads in this area, applicable to dating, are GOD IS A WOMAN: DATING DISASTERS, MYSTERY METHOD, and THE GAME.
