Games People Play · The Psychology of Human Relationships

We think we're relating to other people. Actually we're all playing games. Forty years ago, *Games People Play* revolutionized our understanding of what really goes on during basic social interactions. More than five million copies later, Dr. Eric Berne's classic is as astonishing (I know a better way), to lethal couples combat like "If It Weren't For You"; to flirtation favorites like "The Stocking Game"; Berne exposes the secret ploys & unconscious maneuvers that rule our intimate lives. Explosive when it first appeared, *Games People Play* is now widely recognized as the most original & influential popular psychology book of our time. It's as powerful & eye-opening as ever.
