The older you get, the more you choose calmness over conflict and distance over disrespect. Drama becomes intolerable to you and your peace becomes your ultimate priority. You start surrounding yourself with people who are good for your mental health, heart and soul.
@@EllaBella-76 oh dear!! thanks for sharing your great experience with us 🙏... I don't believe in "apologies"... 🔥 Headed people do things intentionally expecting to apologize 😔😔 laugh
Its always interesting to see how people react to Greene's books. The absence of moral judgement is always a shock to the system and they react with disgust and concern. The books aren't immoral, just amoral. They paint an unsensored picture offering clarity and acceptance, rather than a typically righteous one.
The book is often confused and judged hardly because people believe it is about control and belittling people. When in actual fact it is a deep discussion about what we crave and want from each other. To be a good lover is to be a master in giving people what they want, in a way where we can also fulfill what we want as well. It is a give and take.
@@roykong7024 I appreciate you taking the time to explain it in this way. Helps and makes a lot more sense. I shall continue reading the book with a different perspective on it. Thanks!
Let's all be honest and admit our guilty pleasure of abandoning everything we are doing to watch a video of Robert Greene when he starts talking about seduction. LOL
most people have been using it all their lives though, more or less, this video simply puts it into words and gives clarity to their behaviour @@elvisvan
like i dont think anyone 'uses' this conciously, that would b a bit try hard and wont work, it must come naturally, thats the whole point of seduction in my opinion @@elvisvan

I really think the terminology is what turns people off of this and the laws of power. Sure the tactics displayed are overtly manipulative which is generally negative, but if we're being honest with ourselves almost any interaction with a goal involves some degree of manipulative behavior (think being extra nice and smiley when trying to make a good first inpression). Absolutely think the advice in his books can be used for bad or good, which he expresses in his interviews. But using the term "victims" definitely gives people the wrong idea lol.
I think it's about balance and for you to figure out your specific way to mesh yourself... This must be applied when a person has learned themselves and the power in that
My theory is, that he wants the terminology to be this way, to create a lure and a strong emotional reaction. And the ultimate seducer is one, who has you under his control, so it makes sense, that he uses this terminology for the overarching theme of the book. A normal person wouldn't ever want to dive into the behaviour of the later chapters, if they only seek to pursue a functional relationship.
I love this book. It really helped me realize my interpersonal wins/seductions and give me hope for my social future as well as guidance along the way.
@@research1982 The fact that it's vague to the point of having almost no practical value. Be vulnerable, but not too vulnerable is not really advice from which one can readily benefit. Whereas work out every day for 30 minutes, and minimize sugar consumption are tangible pieces of advice. I may be mistaken, but his thesis seems to be deficient in that respect.
@@d.mavridopoulos66I feel as though you can understand more if you apply them to situations you've been through, I found it has much more meaning that way.
Personally (even as a female) I enjoy being the seducer so much. Being able to stir desire and take another person on a journey is extremely fulfilling for me. I know this is stereotypically a masculine role, but nevertheless I enjoy it by adding feminine twist to it. I fall under the ideal lover + coquette + the dandy types.
@@Zlata1Z Great question. I only go this far for extremely unique individuals that inspire me. Their presence gives me energy, and in return I enjoy giving them pleasure. I'm definitely no player nor a chronic seducer that goes after one night stand. That's how I have the time and energy. End goal is being in a relationship or at least having an out-of-boring-daily life experience with them.
In the realm of seduction, being the seduced can be thrilling and exhilarating. However, it's crucial to understand the manipulator's intentions and the changes they bring upon us. By recognizing their tactics and staying true to ourselves, we can navigate this dangerous game with clarity and emerge stronger.
What i’ve learned about this video is clearly who I am NOT, and that’s a wonderful thing. This video reminds me that I never have to devalue anyone, use them as a pawn for my own personal gain. I actually have this book, and couldn’t bring myself to finish reading it so I decided to listen to this video since it popped up on my feed and now I know exactly what to do with the book, throw it away. There isn’t a single part of me that could ever consciously hurt someone for my own pleasure.
Right?! I really felt the same way. I thought it was a book about something totally different. But I really don’t understand this type of perspective from the writer. Why would I purposely want to take control of someone in that way. I don’t get it…
there is nothing about hurting another person. can you further describe your thoughts? i m really interested to understand the different views on this book
@@BastianSteffens I believe that i’ve made my statement very clear… 🙂 You can ask your self though how devaluing others, using them and trying to manipulate others to get what you want makes you feel, and you may get the answers you’re looking for.
I am so glad you made this video. Definitely would listen to this video often. Until I can think back at it as much as I do for the 48 Laws. Even after I would still listen to refresh my memory.
This sounds more like the diary of a narcissist but it’s still good to read the book to enhance your awareness of these toxic people and their manipulative behavior.
not to survive but to get what dependent people think they need to feel good. The refussal to face fear and pain, and always giving into addiction and pleassure is a sure way to keep suffering and having your sense of peace/fulfillment outside yourself@@Codenamedeagle
This is the best lesson for a young man..a great instrument to control his mind and emotions...and have success in his life....i thing your books must be inside schools...for a better society... Thank you Robert ❤
This book is a true Bible of Seduction. And I think that it is a MUST read to any woman out there! I have read this many many times and it trully fits the seductive character analysis I do on my channel 👑
until you realise you always have to sacrifise your authenticity bc you are playing with energy and behaviour just to get a certain reaction aka dependency. Powerplay is always about feeling a lack of strength/relaxation without it
I believe only the rake and siren are the real seducers simply because their “method” is more catered and focused. You’d have to be extremely good at reading people to learn what they desire and become that. None of these are bulletproof 100% guaranteed success tho. This book is more about being more attractive to common people (outside of rake and siren) than actually seducing someone. So the breakdown would only make this book become a complete lie. No one can seduce someone into doing something they do not already desire without using of force of some kind. And furthermore a breakdown would remove the humanity and natural flow of the interaction which is useless because humans are not robots, one act can have thousands of different responses based simply on how its taken without even mentioning when and where. Just way too many variables.
I want to buy your book Robert, but i'm in another country and the import fees makes your book so expensive i cannot afford it. Thank you for still sharing your wonders through the internet
This is a good way to learn a little about the modus operandi of phychopaths, and even use it back in them, but they are still a small portion of society and seduction goes a lot deeper than this if you want to cover more types of personalities.
Seduction is okay, and getting people to sleep with you is okay. What isn't okay is lying, and taking advantage of people's feelings. Ethical rules applies in all social situations.
@@mariocortez8853 we say that, but there's more rules in war than in love. i'd rather die in a field among brethren and enemy alike, than to die alone on a hill where i believed i was loved.
here we go with middle class morality ethical rules change in every situation differently the only real limit to amorality or as you call it "not okay" is your personal physical security and feel if both of them are okay there are no limitations nor some rules which block your path to take advantage of something incl. people's feelings
1. the Rake (stud; bad guy) 2. the Dandy (androgynous) 3. the Natural (childlike energy) 4. the Coquette (hot & cold; dismissive avoidant) 5. the Star (imagined celebrity) 6. the Charismatic (confidence) 7. the Charmer (makes women feel comfortable) 8. the Ideal Lover (uses the woman's desires as his image) I'm the Dandy and the Coquette. Crazy. I might also be a Charmer.
after hours of study and contemplation, i can today conclude that i am a combination of both the rake and the charmer. first and foremost, I'm a rake, my charmer-esque qualities only spawning as a result of my rakish infatuations.
This is not about being evil or unethical (although it is possible for these unethical types to use these strategies too) but rather, to be intentional and self aware.
11:00 funnily enough, i think i have probably implemented all of these tactics, unconsciously, on my significant other a while ago :D looking back i thank god i didn't know (or wasn't consciously acknowledging) i was employing these tactics, i was genuinely appearing erratic, confusing even myself :)
They say this book is amor, they say it s wrong to manipulate people on their feeling, they say you should not play with emotion and weakness of the others... You just described how a woman behave for sex and relationship
I think it mostly come from self introspection. After reading this book, I've been reflecting on how I act and how my old relationships went. I think im more of a natural in how I act.
Sending prayers of strength and peace to anyone that has been the unfortunate victim of these forms of insidious manipulation. Know that by recognizing these tactics for what they are and removing the toxicity from your life you too can heal in your time and move on to healthier and happier relationships that are based in love and mutual respect and not abusive mind games.🙏💪✨🕊️💛
@@queenofsheba1000 I'm sorry that you had to experience this queenofsheba.🫶 My prayer is that you are no longer employed there and that you filed a complaint against your boss. When someone uses a position of power to harass an unsuspecting employee that's an abuse of power that needs to be addressed for the sake of your own safety and that of others as well. 💛 Allow yourself time to heal Queen and know that you did not deserve this. 🫂 God bless and may you find happiness and success moving forward along your life's path in a much healthier and stable working environment.🙏💪🕊️
Lovely words there, thanks for the positive vibes. Sad to see so many people willing to manipulate others into liking them. A sense of power I suppose, but isn't power the opposite of love?
This is straight up a narcissist / abuser's playbook. Lol "victim." Props though to Mr. Greene; it's really well laid out. A really good film that shows like every single step is "The Servant" Harold Pinter 1963
Am I a bad person for manupilating the people around me? And learning more on how to do it even better, it's my way of staying safe and untouched in conflict or in getting help. So it's more an instinct.
its a way you are trying to fullfill you needs and wants, you tell me if it leads to peace, contentment and real intimacy. You are reliving patterns and not having to look at the why ect as long as you just go along with desire and avoid what you are afraid off
Now I’m sitting here trynna figure out if I’m in love forreal or I done been seduced this man think I’m one of his victims 😭😭 a mind is a crazy thing to waste and I’m losing it wtf
sure if you value tension and want to get your ego off instead or relaxation and true intimacy. You are just continually turning in subconsious emotions/mental patterns. It causes desire bc it feels deeply familiar (deep conditioning) and causes anxiety bc you have experienced the suffering that comes from it before 'how indiffrent and ruthless will this one be? Exciting!'
yup exactly, this book is great for self defense. I noticed it's always the ppl who come in our life by themselves. I don't trust ppl who approach me first or even give me alot of attention, I choose Who I want in my life, not who wants in my life.

Hi sir, i bought the book...what is the meaning of black and red oval shape printed on the book...its make me wonder..
This is not about being evil or unethical (although it is possible for these unethical types to use these strategies too) but rather, to be intentional and self aware.
I love this cruel but necessary
I love that they shout out Patrice O'Neal
This narration is the best narration. I'm not a fan of the other narrator. Plus, I think the other narrator's version is condensed.
thanks
11:00 funnily enough, i think i have probably implemented all of these tactics, unconsciously, on my significant other a while ago :D
looking back i thank god i didn't know (or wasn't consciously acknowledging) i was employing these tactics, i was genuinely appearing erratic, confusing even myself :)
I don't know which one to be. How do you decide?
I kinda feel like this would probably go over a little bit better if he didn’t constantly use the word “victim” all of the time.
The book uses the term so it makes sense to use it in the summary of the book
It adds to the drama of the book I believe it’s a smart tactic
Get out your feelings
thank you
The anti seductive qualities are the most important thing in my opinion. Having any of them seems to be what woman are all looking out for.
Agree
They say this book is amor, they say it s wrong to manipulate people on their feeling, they say you should not play with emotion and weakness of the others... You just described how a woman behave for sex and relationship
Anybody can be manipulative.
Men use these more than women. Women can be easily seductive just through their looks.
I love love Robert
Please do one for mastery Mr greene
took yall long enough been asking for this btw how do I find my type Am I a dandy or charmer?
Shut up you ungrateful retard figure it out yourself
I think it mostly come from self introspection. After reading this book, I've been reflecting on how I act and how my old relationships went. I think im more of a natural in how I act.
Sending prayers of strength and peace to anyone that has been the unfortunate victim of these forms of insidious manipulation. Know that by recognizing these tactics for what they are and removing the toxicity from your life you too can heal in your time and move on to healthier and happier relationships that are based in love and mutual respect and not abusive mind games.🙏💪✨🕊️💛
or you can tap into your inner seduction and stop complaining. I used to have the victim mindset too. It dosent help.
@@lacheinc How do you define a victim mindset?💛
This happened to me at my job with my Boss
@@queenofsheba1000 I'm sorry that you had to experience this queenofsheba.🫶 My prayer is that you are no longer employed there and that you filed a complaint against your boss. When someone uses a position of power to harass an unsuspecting employee that's an abuse of power that needs to be addressed for the sake of your own safety and that of others as well. 💛 Allow yourself time to heal Queen and know that you did not deserve this. 🫂 God bless and may you find happiness and success moving forward along your life's path in a much healthier and stable working environment.🙏💪🕊️
Lovely words there, thanks for the positive vibes. Sad to see so many people willing to manipulate others into liking them. A sense of power I suppose, but isn't power the opposite of love?
Please when I reading a passage in the art of seduction I notice some some random text in between the passage why is that
You forgot the femme fatal, I think those are beyond sirens, they are destructive & in most cases sociopathic lol
Is it possible to actually have traits of more than one of the seducers ?
This is straight up a narcissist / abuser's playbook. Lol "victim." Props though to Mr. Greene; it's really well laid out. A really good film that shows like every single step is "The Servant" Harold Pinter 1963
Thanks
Guru ❤
Robert Greene please do a video on Africa
Interesting that you put an image of Jiddu Krishnamurti... What I would give to have a discussion about him with Yourself, Mr. Greene!
"Hell is other people."
Being one of these predators is it's own hell too.
i have all this mindset when i was younger. but when i grow old it fades. i hope to have it back i know its within me. but its hard find ...
I love you Robert, hugs from Syria and a kiss on your forehead to your brightest brain
6:32 Tito’s image got me like 😮😅😅
Am I a bad person for manupilating the people around me? And learning more on how to do it even better, it's my way of staying safe and untouched in conflict or in getting help. So it's more an instinct.
depends on what your intentions are,how far you’re willing to go, how often you resort to deception, and under what circumstances you do so
its a way you are trying to fullfill you needs and wants, you tell me if it leads to peace, contentment and real intimacy. You are reliving patterns and not having to look at the why ect as long as you just go along with desire and avoid what you are afraid off
@@PersisP thank you this gives me rest
It's like getting concious of some of my actions that I wasnt aware of. I wasn't seducing. I'm just being.... Weird. Lol😊
Seducer type natural is attracted to which seducer type mostly?
I dont like how the relationship has been pursued in here , its like a manipulation tactic , i know itll work but it feels so wrong
This book doesn't judge anything through a moral lens. Do what you feel is right.
Master greene
Great very actualized book
Sounds like lessons from a serial killer 😂
Now I’m sitting here trynna figure out if I’m in love forreal or I done been seduced this man think I’m one of his victims 😭😭 a mind is a crazy thing to waste and I’m losing it wtf
"If the victim is to be SACRIFICED" 😳
A man's gotta eat
I’m a mix of a Dandy & Coquette.
Yes
It's like a thrilling game of chess. Especially if your partner is also a master seducer. Best experience in the world.
sure if you value tension and want to get your ego off instead or relaxation and true intimacy. You are just continually turning in subconsious emotions/mental patterns. It causes desire bc it feels deeply familiar (deep conditioning) and causes anxiety bc you have experienced the suffering that comes from it before 'how indiffrent and ruthless will this one be? Exciting!'
I’m 100% convinced these tactics have been used on me for the past 2 years🤔
yup exactly, this book is great for self defense. I noticed it's always the ppl who come in our life by themselves. I don't trust ppl who approach me first or even give me alot of attention, I choose Who I want in my life, not who wants in my life.
