This post is a The Art of Seduction summary. Specifically, it is a summary of Part 1, Chapter 9: The Star.

The Art of Seduction was written by Robert Greene. This chapter summary was written by Sam Fury.

Stars possess a dreamlike quality.

We are drawn to and imitate them as a way to escape from reality. 

They clearly stand out from the rest of us, yet they are mysterious, which allows our minds to fill in the blanks.

Contents

Fetishistic Stars

The Fetishistic Stars are like the perfect Greek gods or goddesses. They are objects to be desired from a distance. This is accomplished with an attention-getting style.

Mythic Stars

As the name suggests, these are figures of myth that have come to life: the rebel, wise patriarch, adventurer, etc. The connection must be present, but vague. 

The Mythic Star never deals with the unimportant issues. Life and death, love and hate, good vs evil—these are the themes Mythic Stars pay attention to.

Presence

To portray the Star archetype, you must have a big presence. One that fills your target’s mind. 

You must be vague and dreamlike, while at the same time not being forgettable. 

Stand out among the rest, perhaps with a dramatic flair or with subtleness.

Blank Face

The Star’s face is of utmost importance. It must be vague and mysterious. You must learn how to do this so people can let their imaginations run wild.

Relatability

You may be dreamlike and mysterious, but you must also let the people identify with you. 

Give them a glimpse into your private life so they can get a hint of your personality.

Dangers

People have short attention spans. Stars are pleasurable illusions, but the image can become tiresome to the public. As a Star, you must keep in the limelight. Don’t worry about your image. The public will forgive.

It is a fine balance to be constantly in the minds of others while remaining mysterious. If you do not show yourself, the people will forget you. However, if you show too much, you will become predictable and boring. 

A Star must also learn how to handle all the attention. Approach yourself in a playful manner and never obsess over those qualities your admirers focus on.
