Summary
Robert Greene's previous bestseller, The 48 Laws of Power, distilled 3,000 years of scheming into a guide People praised as "beguiling... literate... fascinating" and Kirkus denounced as "an anti-Book of Virtues."
I had a good time reading the book initially, for a few hours. However, it started to become repetitive and uninteresting. The author presents some valid arguments in the beginning, but then continues to focus on building a case that would struggle to persuade even someone with average intelligence.
This unique book can be interpreted in various ways. On one level, the author's intentions are quite unsettling, as the theme of the text clearly carries anti-social undertones. The lack of moral value in deception, manipulation, and exploiting people's weaknesses for personal gain is truly disturbing. The concept of using someone's vulnerabilities to gain power over them, and then manipulating them for sexual domination and influence, is reprehensible no matter how you look at it.
The lessons on seduction ultimately rely on the presence of a target's character flaws or vulnerabilities. The author advises against pursuing confident and grounded individuals. It seems like the author may have had a troubled relationship with their mother, perhaps due to her absence or promiscuity. It's important not to lead a loveless life, as it ultimately holds no value in the end.
