The Art of Seduction by Robert Greene
4.0
I've seen this book mentioned so many times that by the time I read it, I felt like I already knew the things it would teach me.
It's a great book if you want to get in an emotionally manipulative relationship where you are the asshole.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not shitting on Robert Greene, in fact I respect him and really enjoy him in interviews and such. It's just that nobody would really want to be in a relationship like this. It'd be exhausting to constantly have to play games.
Mr. Greene has some insight on human nature and some of the things he writes about are true. He also does mention that these tactics only work on those who are dissatisfied with their lives.
If anything, this book made me think of how important it is to work on yourself and cultivate a strong sense of self esteem. Dissatisfied people aren't only seduced romantically, they fall pray to consumerism too.
Overall, it's an enjoyable book, especially if you're into history and psychology.
