2.0 out of 5 stars
original idea, disappointing result, 26 Sep 1999
By A Customer
Why not apply modern communication techniques to seduction? This book instantly caught my interest for this obvious yet so far untried idea. Finding great pleasure in communicating, and particularly in interacting with the charming half of humanity, I found this book too interesting to resist buying.It is for that originality alone that I will grant it two crowns. Beyond that, I find it a shattering disappointment. If you need more confidence for approaching women, then you need more confidence in general. The author seems to display self-confidence in abundance, but that alone won't help any reader. Far better guides for this end would be 'Awaken the Giant Within' by Anthony Robbins or 'Frogs into Princes' by Richard Bandler and John Grinder. For actually researched information about the psychology of seduction it is a better idea to turn to 'How to Make Anyone Fall in Love with You' by Leil Lowndes. What irritated me most is the author's treatment of Neurolinguistic Programming. This useful set of methods the author uses rather unconvincingly. I say that by comparing this book to other works, e.g. to 'Trance-Formations' by Bandler and Grinder, who actually use the very same communication techniques they are teaching. If you work in sales or training or in any other occupation that requires accomplished communication competence and then take a look into this work, you will be unimpressed, possibly even disgusted. If you have no such previous knowledge and wish to have more interaction skills with women, then there are infinetely better sources than this one. Better than reading a book at home however, is to go out, remind yourself that women have a need for communication, too, and then talk with them like the interesting people we all are.
