Games People Play: The Psychology of Human Relationships
Paperback
By Eric Berne, M.D. (Author)
Publication Date: 11 July 2016

About the Book:
Games People Play: The Psychology of Human Relationships by Eric Berne, M.D., is a classic in the world of psychology that delves into the unconscious patterns that influence how we interact with others. First published in 1964, the book introduces the concept of "Transactional Analysis" (TA) and explores the psychological games people play in everyday interactions, often without realizing it. These "games" are typically repetitive patterns of behavior and communication that can lead to misunderstandings, manipulation, and emotional dysfunction.

Berne identifies over 30 different "games" that people unconsciously engage in during their interactions, such as the well-known "Why Don't You - Yes But" and "I'm Only Trying to Help." These games can be seen in a variety of contexts, from romantic relationships to workplace dynamics, and they often stem from childhood experiences and unresolved psychological issues.

One of the book's central ideas is the importance of recognizing and understanding these patterns to achieve healthier and more authentic relationships. By identifying the games we play and the "roles" we adopt (Parent, Adult, or Child), we can break free from these harmful cycles and communicate more effectively.

Here’s a quote from the book:
"Most people’s lives are not really the results of their decisions, but of their unconscious games."
