The Art of Seduction:The 48 Laws of Power, by Robert Greene, is a daring, sophisticated, and brilliant manual of contemporary manipulation that Newsweek called "the season's most talked-about all-purpose personal strategy guide and philosophical compendium." In order to capture the essence of seduction, the most sophisticated kind of influence, the ultimate power trip, Greene has once more explored literature and history.The Art of Seduction is a brilliant combination of the accomplishments of the greatest seducers throughout history, as well as the works of philosophers like Freud, Ovid, Kierkegaard, and Einstein. From Andy Warhol to Josephine Bonaparte, from Cleopatra to John F. Kennedy, The Art of Seduction explores the nature of the seducer and his or her strategies, successes, and failures.The Design of Everyday Things:This book is required reading for anyone who creates anything that humans use, including tangible products, computer programmes, and conceptual tools. It is also a fantastic read for anyone who must utilise anything that another human has produced. It might alter how you perceive and interact with your physical environment for the rest of your life, make you more aware of the perverseness of poor design and the merits of good design, and raise your standards for how things ought to be made.
