| Games People Play: The Basic Handbook of Transactional Analysis. by Ballantine Books Sorely Disappointed |
| For a minute I thought I had chosen the wrong book. It definitely did not live up to the rating for me. I was left bored and confused. At first I thought it was my timing. So, I picking it up again. I soon realized that this book wasn't for me. I rarely give reviews, but feel obligated to do so when I feel that a book is misrated or is hyped more than it delivers. Anyway, I would suggest a thorough review before you invest in this book. Maybe check it out from the library first. |

| I know it is an all time best seller but it bored me witless. If you don't want to slash your wrists at least start on page 77. |
| Games People Play: The Basic Handbook of Transactional Analysis. by Ballantine Books Psycho-Babble |
This book actually came recommended to me. I cannot tell you how dissapointing reading it was- what a bunch of psycho-babble!
It was the biggest waste of $15.00 ever. |
| Games People Play: The Basic Handbook of Transactional Analysis. by Ballantine Books Sensational |
As sensational as it was when it first appeared, Games People Play is as relevant today as it was when published. With its magical blurb declaring 'We think we're relating to other people-but actually we're all playing games', this is one book that you will find difficult to forget.

| Games People Play: The Basic Handbook of Transactional Analysis. by Ballantine Books What Games Are You Playing? |
| Wonderful book! Ever wonder why people do the things they do? Why they say certain things and act a certain way? This book will explain exactly what that is all about. A bit technical in the beginning, but than starts you off on your journey of enlightenment. After reading this book you'll start realizing what a jerk you're being to certain people, and what a brown-noser you are to others. In the end, this'll help with your everyday situations with peers and subordinates as you get a clear and thorough understanding on "the games people play". |
| Games People Play: The Basic Handbook of Transactional Analysis. by Ballantine Books Product Description |
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. |
