Secrets of Seduction

Pages : 209
Book Description
Recent surveys reveal that about 84% of men feel insecure in flirting situations: whether due to lack of courage, fear of judgment, feeling intimidated by the beauty of women, not knowing what to say or even because of an ingrained shyness. This is because these men do not understand the psychological aspects and mental triggers that are behind any human interaction. In my teens, I was very shy and embarrassed to talk to women who piqued my interest, until I discovered that seduction and conquest skills could be learned and I could really become a skilled seducer if I learned the right techniques. After studying human behavior a lot and even graduating from courses on influence and persuasion, I became an expert in communication and finally understood how some men conquer women so easily, as if they were true magnets and attracted them to themselves with very little effort. Thinking about helping other men to overcome these difficulties I wrote the book “Secrets of Seduction”, where I teach all the powerful techniques of influence, persuasion, NLP and seduction that really changed my life. I literally reveal all the secrets you've never been told about relating to women. In it, I teach practical strategies from basic to advanced to overcome any mental block, gain self-confidence, interpret signals of interest and, just by looking, know exactly who are the women who are interested in you. I also approach the best communication techniques with an almost hypnotic power to create connections, which helped me not only in the seduction aspect but also in several areas of my life. I hope this book adds the same value to you as it did to me.

To Nietzsche: Dionysus, I Love You! Ariadne
Author: Claudia Crawford
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438400055
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
This book explores the possibility that Friedrich Nietzsche simulated his madness as a form of "voluntary death," and thus that his madness functioned as the symbolic culmination of his philosophy. The book weaves together scholarly, mytho-poetic, literary critical, biographical, and dramatic genres not only to explore specifics of Nietzsche's "madness," but to question the "reason/madness" opposition in nineteenth and twentieth century thinking. A rational and scholarly study of this period of Nietzsche's "breakdown"—presented through his writings, letters, and poetry in combination with relevant historical documents and other critics' writings—is simultaneously disrupted and questioned by several non-traditional discourses or voices that break in on it. Thus, Ariadne's voice frames and unframes the research context and plays alongside it. Ariadne's voice is poetic, revelatory, rhapsodic, and prophetic, sounding much like Nietzsche's own voice during his "breakdown." Ariadne's discourse attempts to seduce through a non-rational, mytho-poetic love story which culminates in the wedding of Dionysus and Ariadne. Other non-rational discourses, critically developed and based upon the work of Nietzsche, Jean Baudrillard, and Gilles Deleuze, are given voice and work together with Ariadne to counter the usual interpretations of Nietzsche's "madness" and of what "mad" discourse is. These discourses are given the names "catastrophe," "phantasm," and "seduction." The experiment of the book is not only to offer an entirely different perspective on Nietzche's "madness" but to offer and perform new and challenging forms of affirmative discourse.

Baudrillard (RLE Social Theory)
Author: Mike Gane
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317652479
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
Baudrillard is widely recognised as a powerful new force in cultural and social criticism, and is often referred to as the ‘High Priest of Postmodernism’. This study presents a detached assessment of his social thought and his reputation, challenging the way his work has been received in postmodernism and proposing a new reading of his contribution to social theory. Using many sources currently available only in French, Mike Gane provides the keys to understanding Baudrillard’s project and reveals the extent and scope of Baudrillard’s challenge to modern social theory and cultural criticism. He looks at the sources of Baudrillard’s ideas, analysing how Baudrillard has turned these sources against themselves. He describes Baudrillard’s dramatic encounter with critical Marxist theory and psychoanalysis, showing how Baudrillard’s post-Marxist writings define, through the exploration of fatal theory, a new episode in cultural history: a period of cultural implosion. This balanced account of Baudrillard’s social theory emphasises the originality of his work and argues that his significance can only be understood by grasping the paradoxes of his project – Baudrillard’s work is poetic, yet, at the same time, critical and fatal.
