The problem with IT/PS is the seduction is interlaced with sexuality, stark already has IT anyways. It is better as a short section of a major sub.
S&S, imo is not as sexual as it sounds. I just read this book, influence by robert caldini, it outlines persuasion through confidence tricks (Topics focus on creating wealth/money, but concepts are applicable to any field).
Since S&S also contains Ascension lite to aid in smQ, this is good as well for persuasion.
The chapters of the book are…
- Reciprocation - Ascension lite inside smQ gives respect through sex, generous.
- Commitment - Ascension lite inside smQ gives respect through sex, trustworthy.
- Social Proof - Ascension lite inside smQ gives respect through sex, networking.
- Liking - Ascension lite inside smQ gives respect through sex, personable.
- Authority - Ascension lite inside smQ gives respect through sex, competency.
- Scarcity - Ascension lite inside smQ respect through sex, abundance.
S&S is good at all of these, just in a different way.
One could apply seduction to any of these concepts. This book is also recommended by the PUA Neil Strauss (Author of “The Game”), as a foundation for higher concepts. One can apply it to anything such as selling a product. The book is rather dull though imo.
