Product Description
A national bestseller in 1971, Born to Win still sells thousands of copies each year. The insights in the book are now fundamental to how we see ourselves. It was one of the first self-help books to analyze communication styles and its 50 gestalt exercises are as revealing as ever about the roles people reenact in their Parent and Child ego states.

This book was very enlightening to say the least. It is not the easiest book to read in that it is disturbing. It brings to light the fact that none of us are singular in the world of emotional pain.

I have a degree in counseling with a minor in psychology. Through the years I have read and studied many psychology books and texts. This is one I consistently come back to and I think that says a lot. For a layman's understanding of basic human behavior, I have only found one other book that has been as useful (Talking to Yourself - Pamela Butler).

By looking at the previous reviews I had great hopes of learning something useful from the book. I am greatly disappointed there is nothing to learn. there is nothing more than common sense in the book. I am sorry may be I should say common sense of blabbering people. It is like saying if u are able to see it means there light there. or may be if it is looking like a day there is sun there etc. We all know how many different ways we feel and behave , like some times we are angry sometimes we are sad some times we are contemplative etc. We do not need a book from so called psychologists to say that. If u can read some religious book like bagavad gita or koran or bible they will give 1000 times more wisdom and and also show us a path to go by to improve ourselves.
I recommand the book "The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran " to get great insights into the issues we deal with in our lives. Here this book is given one star, because the s/w does not permit me to give 0 stars.I am hoping to save precious time of some people intending to read this book, by this review.

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!
