This book is 60 years old so obviously psychology has grown and changed since then. This was the first “pop psychology” book and I appreciated the opportunity to learn more about Berne’s ideas without actually having to read the book.

This book is a must read because if you notice it triggers alot of people, when people are triggered your usually on to something. They like to hide behind all these new labels but this book is raw deal exposing everybody. Only good book is one that triggers you when reading it.

I read it 40 years ago , it helped me to visualize situations as challenges that I could overcome ☘️💝👍

It’s wonderful to hear that “Games People Play” by Eric Berne had such a positive impact on you. The book, which delves into the psychology of human relationships through Transactional Analysis, has indeed been influential in helping readers understand the dynamics of social interactions and personal growth. Berne’s work encourages us to view our interactions as ‘games’ with rules and strategies, which can be navigated and mastered. Your experience of visualizing situations as challenges to overcome aligns with the empowering message of the book, suggesting that we can all learn to engage more effectively with the world around us.

I love thus book

Oh, nice I just bought this book but haven't read it yet. By the way, I just uploaded a review for The Extended Phenotype, if you're interested in revisiting that book. 😀

I'll check it out! What’s the link? Where should “Hanna”, our R&D head be reading it?

Psycology had changed but peaple not , they are the same since ever

I feel this is outdated and obviously yes the model of Egos is a great model but all these specific games like for instance the one about the prisoner liking to get caught… ummm im pretty sure any prisoner who try’s to escape wants to escape what??? Also I don’t see how any of this is scientific it just seems like his own speculation on social systems
