A truly fascinating look at the high-stakes mental games people play with each other, most often never realizing they're reliving patterns of behavior passed down to them generationally. This book is as relevant to writers of fiction as it is to armchair psychologists.

Dr. Eric Berne founded Transactional Analysis and wrote this wonderful New York Times best seller introducing his thinking to the lay reader. The book is an excellent introduction to Transactional Analysis and the games people play without awareness. It's fun to read and the insights gained from it can positively improve one's life and relationships.
