The Art of Seduction

Greene treats seduction as a form of power and studies it with the same cold eye he brought to statecraft. He sorts seducers into nine types, from the Siren to the Charmer, draws their tactics from figures like Cleopatra and Casanova, and lays out the phases by which resistance is worn down. It is less a dating manual than an anatomy of influence, and it reads the same whether the target is a lover, a voter or a boardroom.
