About this product

Product Information

We think we're relating to other people-but actually we're 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 Berne's classic is as astonishing-and revealing-as 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 Vonnegut's brilliant Life magazine review from 1965. We play games all the time-sexual games, marital games, power games with our bosses, and competitive games with our friends. Detailing status contests like "Martini" (I know a better way), to lethal couples combat like "If It Weren't For You" and "Uproar," to flirtation favorites like "The Stocking Game" and "Let's You and Him Fight," 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. It's as powerful and eye-opening as ever.

    A fantastic book

    One of the seminal books for understanding how people interact with each other. If you often find yourself in conversations where you wonder, "What just happened?" it's likely that the answers are here, along with how to change the outcome. You can also choose (in many situations) both how to feel, and how to act. This book shows you how. Written by, IMHO, one of the great thinkers of the 20th century.

  • Games People Play

    I wish he would have called it something other than games. It makes this very intense set of ideas sound too frivolous. It may have helped market the book but makes one wonder. His ideas about transactions between people and among groups are just about revolutionary, at least to me. His analysis of behaviors and interchanges helps me understand myself and those who have and do influence me. I was particularly impressed with his ideas about alcoholism.

  • Spot On!

    A book needed and complete in facing a subtle behavior pattern we all use!
