 Rating:  - Very Interesting but not that well writtenThis is a great book. If you're interested in human behaviour and psychology this is a great book for you to read. The downside to the book is that he trys to use words used in psychology in the book to make it sound better. But it actually does the opposite - makes it sound worse. If you think you can get past all the words that he uses then buy it, if you don't think you can then don't. But to round up the book is very interesting and has great concepts.

This is a guide to human behaviour which is accessible to the non-specialist and can be used to improve oneself and one's understanding of others. The games we play (Dawkins would classify these ... Read More: Rating: - Ahead of its time? Too self-assured...Eric Berne, post-Freudian psychoanalyst and creator of "Transactional Analysis". It's fair to say that his theories on social interactions (rituals, pastimes and games as he referred to them) were both interesting and fairly applicable to real world situations, however like Freud, Berne is so self-assured in his own writing tha his book becomes less of a theoretical perspective on social psychology, but a dogmatic text. I also interpreted some latent sexism, but that could just be my reading ... Read More: |
