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.

'Will Storr is one of our best journalists of ideas ... The Status
Game might be his best yet' James Marriott, Books of the Year, The
Times What drives our political and moral beliefs? What shapes our
bitterest conflicts and wildest dreams? What makes you, you? Across
the world, from Papua New Guinea to Tokyo and Manhattan, humans
compete for status. Through games of dominance, virtue and success,
it's an obsession that has driven the best and worst of us: the
Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution as well as spree killers
and tyrants at the gates of Europe. But what makes status an
all-consuming prize? And how can we wield our desire for it to
improve our relationships, win social media battles and be the best
in the workplace? A breathtaking rethink of human psychology, The
Status Game will change how you see others - and how you see
yourself.
FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER,THE HIDDEN LIFE OF
TREES 'A simultaneously stimulating and soothing blend of nature
writing and science ... Strongly encourages tree hugging for our
own, human sake' Guardian Summer Reads 2021 A powerful return to
the forest, where trees have heartbeats and roots are like brains
that extend underground. Where the colour green calms us, and the
forest sharpens our senses. In The Heartbeat of Trees, renowned
forester Peter Wohlleben draws on new scientific discoveries to
show how humans are deeply connected to the natural world. In an
era of climate change, many of us fear we've lost our connection to
nature, but Wohlleben is convinced that age-old ties linking humans
to the forest remain alive and intact. We just have to know where
to look. Drawing on science and cutting-edge research, The
Heartbeat of Trees reveals the profound interactions humans can
have with nature, exploring: the language of the forest the
consciousness of plants and the eroding boundary between flora and
fauna A perfect book to take with you into the woods, The Heartbeat
of Trees shares how to see, feel, smell, hear, and even taste the
forest. Peter Wohlleben, renowned for his ability to write about
trees in an engaging and moving way, reveals a wondrous cosmos
where humans are a part of nature, and where conservation and
environmental activism is not just about saving trees, it's about
saving ourselves, too.

'Life is finite. You don't have to fit everything in... Read this
book and wake up to a new way of thinking and living' Emma Gannon
'Every sentence is riven with gold' Chris Evans 'Comforting,
fascinating, engaging, inspiring and useful' Marian Keyes
What makes a winner? Why do some succeed both in life and in
business, and others fail? The 'winner effect' is a term used in
biology to describe how an animal that has won a few fights against
weak opponents is much more likely to win later bouts against
stronger contenders. As Ian Robertson reveals, it applies to
humans, too. Success changes the chemistry of the brain, making you
more focused, smarter, more confident and more aggressive. And the
more you win, the more you will go on to win. But the downside is
that winning can become physically addictive. By understanding what
the mental and physical changes are that take place in the brain of
a 'winner', how they happen, and why they affect some people more
than others, Robertson explains what makes a winner or a loser -
and how we can use the answers to these questions to understand
better the behaviour of our business colleagues, employees, family
and friends.
Some people are exceptionally manipulative. They can convince anyone about anything and lure them with their charm. They enjoy controlling others and will do anything to get what they want.
