       The Art of Seduction : Machiavelli in Modern times
       By: Forest Date: May 20, 2019, 6:28 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Have you read this book? This book was a great bestseller by
       Robert Green, and lots of people have read this book all around
       the world.<The Art of Seduction> is an unparalledly excellent in
       analysis of how to capture the minds of others or to gain
       absolute power.
       The power of seduction is stronger than physical power and works
       secretly and quietly under the water. A person who gains others'
       heart and bring opponents to his knees with heart is the man who
       has a true power.
       The power of temptation comes not from objective beauty, but
       from the ability to grasp and control the other person's heart.
       It is not a ephysical power to oppress someone. The fascinating
       power that makes you surrender with heart is more powerful.
       It can be applied to politics or business.
       It is because politicians need to "entice" voters and businesses
       have to "attract" consumers.
       For me, the most interesting thing in the book is the diverse
       types of tempters in the history.The tempters types are all
       fascinating. What type of seducer is the most attractive for
       you?

       "It teaches the essentials of being a sociopath. I tried to view
       the material from all angles. The truth is that if you try to
       view it from a different angle, philosophically or otherwise,
       you are kidding yourself. This book is pure manipulation and
       while employing the strategies could very well work, you should
       always ask yourself...at what cost? There are two roads you can
       travel down to get what you want. There is this road, or there
       is the road of improving yourself and being the amazing man
       women want without sacrificing your integrity or moral values. I
       personally decided I would not corrupt my true character. Make
       your own decision on whether to read/follow, but always note the
       consequences. There are much better roads than this one."
       (direct quote from an am*zon review)
       Fascinating! Sounds like just the ticket! I'll get back to you
       once I've read it. ;D

       Talking about Manuals, I prefer Ovid’s « Art of Love »

       I'm not surprised at such reviews that stick to one-way
       moralism.Separate seduction with morality once, and try to open
       your mind to the value of this book.In many cases, narrow-minded
       moralism comes from confirmation bias, and it is stubborn and
       silly as much as ignorant nationalists and chauvinists.
       According to the author, those who criticize tempters for morals
       and conscience are just jealous because of lack of ability
       themselves.(Indeed, I have witnessed it in real world.)
       Andy Warhol, Elisabeth I, S. Freudt are a seducer type of cold
       narcissist, and femme fatal type are Cleopatra, Marilyn Monroe,
       Paulina Bonaparte. Playboy type seducers are including Don Juan,
       Byron and Evis Presley. Napoleon, Rasputin, Lenin, Eva Peron and
       Malcolm X are Charisma type.For sure, we have been fascinated
       with those people. Why do the moralists deny it? What attractive
       personalities! We should ignore those interesting people due to
       boring moralism?

       Thank you for the information on the book, Sofia.
       I'm very interested in digging complicated significances and
       symbols in Greek-Roman myth. I'm trying to read the book. It
       looks like fun.
