People are more complicated than the masks they wear in society.
I can see why some people detest The Art of Seduction.
It teaches how to seduce people in a mostly manipulative and toxic way, which is definitely not the right thing to do when you try to win someone over respectfully. This is definitely not a book one should try to take too serious and follow step by step unless you want to be a living and breathing red flag.
Still, I thought it was insightful and very interesting to learn about all these different seducer (and the anti-seducer) types. At times it felt like I was doing a little personality test, trying to find out what traits I see in myself or in others. I liked the example stories as well. All of them being quite intriguing every time they popped up and nice to have for a further understanding of the topic at hand.
Some outrageous sentences aside, I feel like I learned a little bit more about human behavior and thinking, which is why I think it is an informative read. But taken lightly.
great quality archetypes. A lot of thought has gone into this book. Perhaps a touch too many historical examples.

Definitely the last “Blank Laws of Blank” and probably the last Robert Greene book that I read. I honestly doubt he even believes the things he writes - if your only evidence is a handful of anecdotes (half of which are fictional stories), and you reuse those anecdotes multiple times for different threads of your argument, you might want to reevaluate your argument or spend some more time digging.

Pseudo-psychology, aimed at the general public that does more harm than good. The author does not have a supporting degree nor expertise qualifications, and is controversial for a reason. This is harmful “pickup artistry” for “mind-hackers”, with some historic interjection.
it’s interesting but its a confusing book to read due to the formatting
