Games People Play: The Psychology of Human Relationships By Dr. Eric Berne

Why do people behave the way they do in relationships? In the groundbreaking classic Games People Play, psychiatrist Dr. Eric Berne introduces the concept of transactional analysis—a revolutionary approach to understanding human behavior. Through everyday social “games,” Berne uncovers the hidden patterns and roles people unconsciously act out in their interactions, often leading to conflict, confusion, or manipulation.

From marital dynamics to workplace politics and social habits, Berne explains how these psychological "games" shape our lives—and how we can break free from them. Insightful, witty, and deeply influential, this book helps readers recognize their own behaviors and build more honest, conscious relationships.

Perfect for:
✅ Psychology enthusiasts and self-awareness seekers
✅ Readers interested in human behavior and social dynamics
✅ Professionals in counseling, coaching, or human resources
