BORN TO WIN

As other reviewers pointed out, the print is unbearable. But the book is readable enough, so look beyond its appearance. The content is brilliant, life changing, and yet an easy read. For what I'm beginning to learn, I give this book 5 stars.

Content of this book is good but the page quality and small font size make hard to read.I think sellers provide me a pirated version.

Good book

A wonderful read. Transactional Analysis so well summarized and introduced. Highly recommended.

Best price. Brand new book. Good quality of paper.

No further comments to offer.

one of the best books on T.A.

Very disappointed. A good book which is unreadable because of bad paper used and bad printing and binding. Better not to waste money.

It's an interesting book combining transactional analysis and gestalt psychotherapy approaches.

Clear and easy to read. It's an account of Transactional Analysis (Google it), which is a "metaphor" for aspects of human experience and interaction, yet one which helps us find an underlying truth in how and why we feel, behave and interact as we do. It provides a language which helps us recognise things in ourselves and others, and these insights have passed the test of time. I'm a graduate in hard-nosed experimental, scientific, evidence-based Psychology, but TA nevertheless has illuminated my life since I was first introduced to it in 1979. This book was written in rather less cynical times than we live in now, and the language (and title, and cover) might seem naive, even saccharine. But the introduction explains the title well, and the book's explanatory purpose is seriously pursued. If you want to understand Transactional Analysis - and perhaps yourself - you probably can't do better.

Great interesting book, the version from October 2021 no missing pages 😀

The Book came in good condition and on time. The book is a classic which is enjoyable to read. thank you.

I have been a practicing pychologist for almost thirty years. have my original yellowed copy with broken back, prominant on my shelf. I refer people to this book and work them through it as a course in thinking and feeling change!It is clear and understandable. I was taught Transactional Analysis by my Clinical professor. We also used TA in the theraputic community when I was a prison psychologist. The authors combine gestalt process along with transactional models. Eric Berne the creator of TA was trained in Freudian Psychology so there is some parallels. But the language is concrete and the sources of the content are tangible. It is a process oriented book, with some insight thrown in.There is criticism about a lack of philosophical orientation, but I continue to recomend this book after many years, and send my patients/clients out to find it. Hopefully we will continue to keep it being published.Possibly an updated version? Why? You may not be old enough to remember when the grocery store gave out gold and green stamps for merchandise redemtion? So the idea of collecting stamps as a way of describing building up feelings of injustice may be confusing.I have used this as a text in bibliotherapy for some clients who radically changed there lives before my eyes.I highly recomend this book! I actually do! In my practice!I am continuing to recomend this book to my clients. As I mentioned above it is a little dated. Eric Bernes was a classicaly trained therapist. he found that using more specific everyday labels of our memories and learning placed into simple, recognizable, concepts allows every person to understand. It combined with other skills provides insight as to why we behave as we do.This version is a 25th anniversary edition. LOL! I recomend it !
