How people play

When How People Play was first published nearly fifty years ago, it became a revolutionary psychological text for understanding what really happens between people during basic social interactions. We all play games. Some can be quite innocent stereotypical fun, others grow into ultimately harmful repetition of dysfunctional life patterns. Whether it's sexual games with the other sex, marital games with our partners, power games with our bosses, or competitive games with our friends. The audiobook How People Play reveals the mechanisms in our behavior that can serve as a substitute for truly experiencing intimate relationships and shows ways to avoid fruitless gaming. Thanks to its incisiveness of thought, How People Play has rightly earned the title of "the first truly scientific work in the field of everyday psychology".
