Eric BerneGames People Play (new)

This is book is so logical and profound that it is simple and will make you feel lighter. If you know you know.

Read this only when you have enough understanding of psychology and have already read enough number of books.It takes you through how our all relationship and communications are transactions and various behaviors origanets from a established positions of our inner child.This is good book to help you reflect on your behaviors in contexts of concepts given into the book. It can also help you to understand behaviors of others. But for this you will have to read very slowly and understand exactlywhat is being said. I feel I got around 20 25 percent of book in first reading but I will still call it worth reading.If you are at starting point of building your reading habit, pick it after One year.

It's an eye opening book.Lots of new and analytical information...

The book is written in a formal and technical language so it may be difficult for some readers. Also, the book was written in the 60s so the book may seem kind of discriminatory for a lay person.But if you leave those aspects aside, it has a ton of insights into human interactions and the many ulterior motives within them.

Too many technical terms. Not a dialy life used language. Can't understand easily even though I'm interested in this topic.

Must read ...guys it's really good

We as humans are almost always playing games- power games to competitive ones.Mostly, we're playing them unawares.This book is a compilation of various forms of games that we play or can play in different scenarios. The games described in the book are:1. Life Games2. Marital Games3. Sexual Games4. Underworld Games5. Consulting Room Games6. Good GamesSome of these games are bad while some are good, hence it's important that we understand and accept what kind of player we've been in the past and how we can improve in future.To me, this book was more like an awakening & it gave me clarity to accept myself & even accept others who have played some games in the past.Where everyone is asking you to be non-judgemental, this book is the one that has actually helped me in making peace with people & their ways & becoming less judgemental.I found the book to be heavy in the beginning but gradually I was able to understand it better. It's for everyone.

Gives you a good insight into how to deal with day to day human interactions in a better way. Its more for a mature audience who has some sort of hold over the subject and for someone who wants to learn about human psychology it'll be worth the money.
