Which sort of seducer could you be: *Siren? *Rake? *Cold Coquette?
*Star? *Comedian? *Charismatic? or *Saint? This book will show you
which. 'Charm, persuasion, the ability to create illusions: these
are some of the many dazzling gifts of the Seducer, the compelling
figure who is able to manipulate, mislead and give pleasure all at
once. When raised to the level of art, seduction, an indirect and
subtle form of power, has toppled empires, won elections and
enslaved great minds. In this beautiful, sensually designed book,
Greene unearths the two sides of seduction: the characters and the
process. Discover who you, or your pursuer, most resembles. Learn,
too, the pitfalls of the anti-Seducer. In part II, immerse yourself
in the twenty-four manoeuvres and strategies of the seductive
process, the ritual by which a seducer gains mastery over their
target. Understand how to 'Choose the Right Victim', 'Appear to Be
an Object of Desire' and 'Confuse Desire and Reality'. In addition,
Greene provides instruction on how to identify victims by type.
Each fascinating character and each cunning tactic demonstrates a
fundamental truth about who we are, and the targets we've become -
or hope to win over. The Art of Seduction is an indispensable
primer on the essence of one of history's greatest weapons and the
ultimate power trip.
As a child I would often lie awake at night, praying that through some
miracle I would be woken up by people who had come to take me back to
my rightful family, and that those I had come to know as my parents
would tell me the truth: that I was, in fact, adopted and had been born
a girl and they had had a doctor operate on me.’
Growing up as Kgositsile, meaning ‘king’, Tshiamo Modisane
always knew that she was a girl despite her assigned birth gender. This
talented child of a pastor from KwaThema and Daveyton townships near
Johannesburg was expected to conform to conservative black culture’s
expectations for a male, and would endure censure and even abuse from
family, friends, peers and strangers into adulthood. Yet Tshiamo began
making courageous choices at the age of five, a journey of both
self-doubt and self-belief that culminated in gender-affirmation
surgery in her thirties. With sass, faith and baked-in confidence from
her family ties to the entertainment world, she successfully
transitioned from male to female while navigating a career as an
actress, celebrity stylist and Lux’s first gender-non-conforming brand
ambassador.
As admirable as it is affirming, this poignant memoir examines past
hurts and present truths, and opens up a sorely needed discussion about
unconditional acceptance.
This book tells the story of a best selling author, a surgeon and a
hospital nurse who becomes more and more obsessed with revenge. All
proceeds from the sale will go to a homeless charity.
