5.0 out of 5 stars Possibly the best Self-Help book ever!, 11 April 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Born to Win: Transactional Analysis with Gestalt Experiments (Paperback)
Transactional Analysis and Gestalt may seem old hat these days but the basic priniples have stood the test of time. This book formed the basis of my own study of TA in the seventies and also enabled me to beat a long standing history of recurrent depression and stress-related illness. I now teach TA to medical professionals and, 30 years on, this is still the best book available! Last updated and revised on its 25th birthday in 1996 this really is a "must buy" for anyone interested in digging through the "psychobabble" to the core of what makes people, including you, tick.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well it's a classic really, 8 Mar 2003

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Born to Win: Transactional Analysis with Gestalt Experiments (Paperback)
Great summary of games players and how people interact, with clear examples, structured approach etc. Far better than Games People Play or I'm OK you're OK. Necesary reading for everyone who has a family or friends or job. One star docked for age, but it's stood the test of time pretty well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Understanding Yourself, 22 April 2010
This review is from: Born to Win: Transactional Analysis with Gestalt Experiments (Paperback)

This is not just a self-help book. It's a classic Transactional Analysis's book written in the early seventieths that brings exercises and experiments from Gestalt, that will help you answer questions like: "Who am I?" and "What am I doing here?"

It's a very easy reading book which presents the TA theory in a clear way which can be understood by everybody. According to Eric Berne, creator of Transactional Analysis, the theory could be understood by an 8 year old child.

I'm a psychotherapist and I use TA every day in my life and in my practice with clients to help them make the changes they want. I recommend this book to all my clients, which help them on the process of psychotherapy. They enjoy the exercises that are very easily done. For them I make a special reference to chapter 5, where the authors present an easy explanation on how we become the way we are and the origin of the internal dialogue, helping people to make new decisions.

It's an amazing book that I would recommend to anyone interested in having a better life with oneself and with others.
