Games People Play
of Eric Berne
Description
We think weâre relating to other peopleâbut actually weâre all playing games.Forty years ago, Games People Play revolutionized our understanding of what really goes on during our most basic social interactions. More than five million copies later, Dr. Eric Berneâs classic is as astonishingâand revealingâas it was on the day it was first published. This anniversary edition features a new introduction by Dr. James R. Allen, president of the International Transactional Analysis Association, and Kurt Vonnegutâs brilliant Life magazine review from 1965.We play games all the timeâsexual games, marital games, power games with our bosses, and competitive games with our friends. Detailing status contests like âMartiniâ (I know a better way), to lethal couples combat like âIf It Werenât For Youâ and âUproar,â to flirtation favorites like âThe Stocking Gameâ and âLetâs You and Him Fight,â Dr. Berne exposes the secret ploys and unconscious maneuvers that rule our intimate lives.Explosive when it first appeared, Games People Play is now widely recognized as the most original and influential popular psychology book of our time. Itâs as powerful and eye-opening as ever.
