I interviewed Zan Perrion from Ars Amorata: his own personal transformation, beauty of living and seduction
Zan is a globally recognized author, speaker, coach, philosopher, and... as he likes to call himself - a gypsy pirate. Being a legend in the world of dating, some call him the world's greatest seducer. Zan has always focused on a very "natural" approach to dating and seduction... shying away from routines, scripts and all the other things that make dating and romance creepy.
With his rich history with women and with the deep passion he has for them, Zan offers an almost opposite perspective to the other PUAs and dating gurus out there. Instead of continually being obsessed with your self, try the true charmer's way of focusing on the magic of the woman in front of you. An entire chapter of the New York Times bestseller "The Game" by Neil Strauss was devoted to Zan, and he's become extremely well-known for his more natural and enlightened form of interaction between men and women, romance, and pursuit of more exciting relationships through romance.
Today he teaches men how to better interact with women and how to be naturally attractive without using routines or techniques.
We talked about:
- Zan's personal transformation from a shy Nice Guy to who he is today
- "Beauty needs a witness" - how he discovered his passion and philosophy of beauty
- "Who am I?" - the importance of contemplation in the modern world -
- seduction as a means of self-expression

His specialty is to empower men to realize their full masculine confidence, intimate power, and depth of connection to their partner. He has helped hundreds of men from all around the world to master their sexual energy and save their marriages. Finding his purpose to be of service to men in this world, started already at a very young age.
As a boy, Steffo was always intrigued by the mysterious and unknown. His questions concerning the nature of reality, Truth, and the meaning of life led him to leave his home country of Sweden in search of answers at the young age of 22. In 2007, he set out on a pilgrimage around the world and he traveled to more than 21 countries, lived in several spiritual communities, and sat at the feet of many enlightenment masters – among them Sadhguru, Mooji, and Prem Baba.

His journey reached a complete circle when he was initiated into manhood through a series of rites of passages of ten days of fasting, seven days of silent meditation in a dark room retreat, countless austerities, yogic purifications, and deep shadow work to shed layers of the ego-mind.
