The Art of Seduction by Robert Greene

2.0

If you judge by Greene's examples, you might assume that the heyday of seduction was in the 1700s. If you were lucky, your chapter might get an example from the 1940s. As a result, a ton of the case studies were almost entirely irrelevant - those social constructs do not still exist today. Even though his main points about human psychology seemed solid, the anachronistic stories used to deliver the points home made the book overall boring as hell and almost entirely unrelatable. I took away a few tidbits about seduction, but my biggest takeaway was to be glad I am not a woman in the 18th century.
