Allen, president of the International Transactional Analysis Association, and Kurt Vonnegut’s brilliant __Life__ magazine review from 1965.We play games all the time–sexual games, marital games, power games with our bosses, and competitive games with our friends. Detailing status contests like “Martini” (I know a better way), to lethal couples combat like “If It Weren’t For You” and “Uproar,” to flirtation favorites like “The Stocking Game” and “Let’s You and Him Fight,” Dr. Berne exposes the secret ploys and unconscious maneuvers that rule our intimate lives.Explosive when it first appeared, __Games People Play__ is now widely recognized as the most original and influential popular psychology book of our time. It’s as powerful and eye-opening as ever.
