This audiobook is an abridged version of People Who Play Games. Only the most important: ideas, techniques, key quotes.
People Who Play Games is the bestselling book by American psychologist and psychiatrist Eric Berne. The book is devoted to the scenarios in which people live, and the psychological games that they play in the process of interacting with others.
The work is based on Berne’s concept of transactional analysis — the interpretation of social interactions. This theory is based on the idea that each person at any given time is in one of three ego states: Parent, Adult, or Child. States affect thinking, behavior, and communication.
Eric Berne believes that the scenario of a person’s life is laid in preschool age. There are three main programs: winner, undefeated, and loser, each with many options. The author not only explains the mechanism of script formation and describes different options, but also answers the question of how to change your destiny and become a winner. With this book, you can analyze your script and allow yourself to start a new life.
Eric Berne’s work is primarily intended for psychotherapists, but, thanks to the accessible language, it is interesting for the general reader.
