Title: What do you say after you say hello?: The psychology of human destiny by Eric Berne ISBN: 0-394-47995-5 Publisher: Grove Press Pub. Date: 1972 Format: Unknown Binding |
Average Customer Rating: 3.67 (3 reviews)
Rating: 1
Summary: Skip the Sequel
Comment: The original Games People Play was an excellent book. This one is verbose, poorly organized and the author seems more interested in being witty than conveying information. Has Berne's early success gone to his head? This book is not written with the same discipline and focus as his first book which is pithy and informative. If you want to explore the subject of Transactional Analysis further, this is NOT the book to do it with. His first book is ranked around 5200 on the Amazon sales chart... this one 360,000. There's a reason for that. Skip the Sequel.

Summary: Great psychology book.
Comment: A thought-provoking and revealing book about human life and human interactions. Although written in the late sixties it is still very much relevant and not in the least outdated. Even if you do not accept the script theory as a whole (the system of thought with its jargon(which by the way is minimal compared to other theories of personality) and with the common myths that permeate it), this book provides valuable insights in many aspects of the human condition. Unlike other psychology books that present systems of thought attempting to encompass the whole spectrum of human life and end up missing out on all the finer detail by means of over-generalizations and an over-inflated writer's ego, this one uses the script theory ( that we all decide on important matters in our life at a very young age and live or act out our scripts accordingly)as a springboard for very profound ideas and observations put to paper in a simple and to-the-point language, revealing as I said rather than covering up with theoretical constructs and obscuring.
A work by a very compassionate man and a pioneer in the field, who sadly passed away soon after the completion of the book. But as his heritage to people this book is as good as any, and better.

Summary: Spectacularly on-target analysis of human interaction
Comment: One of the all time greats of the self-help bookshelf. Simply excellent.
Ever wondered why you say certain things at certain times or have a predicable reaction to a given situation? This is the book that tells you why.
But that in itself is not enough. The best thing is the no-nonsense, revealing and sometimes painful truths it reveals. The reader can immediately see in a compelling and understandable way the whole mechanism of their human interactions, both good and bad. The reader can then use this understanding and the tools revealed to help them in their relationships, their work, their life.
It is a work of great perception and value.
