Yesterday I was talking about the book "Games People Play," and today it's time for its continuation "People Who Play Games."

In this book, dedicated to people, the author continues to develop transactional theory and apply structural analysis to explain human behavior. In fact, a transaction is simply a unit of communication = stimulus + reaction, and structural analysis is based on three ego states: Parent + Adult + Child. As a result, when communicating, people can switch between these states and play, perhaps even involuntarily, the games described in the previous book. This can lead them to different endpoints, including mental hospital or suicide. This book adds the theory of scenarios in the form of a life plan drawn up in childhood based on the influence of parents and relatives. As a result, the scenarios can be diverse, but the author introduces a classification into three types:

• Losers' scripts.
• Winners' scripts
• Scripts of the Invincibles The first systematically go to a sad result, the second fight and go to victory, and the latter must try, but be sure not to win in the end. Many moments in a book written 55 Years ago, still relevant, but some look frankly strange errors of the distant past. In this regard, the book is weaker than the one about the Games:) But even so, the book is worth reading and making up your mind. The first comment will refer to a review of the first book.
