Paperback. Condition: Good. No Jacket. An enormously popular (7-million copies sold) and insightful classic of popular psychology based on Eric Berne%u2019s theory of Transactional Analysis that has helped millions of people who never before felt OK about themselves find the freedom to change, to liberate their ADULT effectiveness, and to achieve joyful intimacy with the people in their lives. Transactional analysis delineates three ego-states (parent, adult and child) as the basis for the content and quality of interpersonal communication. %u201CHappy childhood%u201D notwithstanding, says Harris, most of us are living out the not ok feelings of a defenseless child wholly dependent on ok others (parents) for stroking and caring. At some stage early in our lives we adopt a %u201Cposition%u201D about ourselves which very significantly determines how we feel about ourselves, particularly in relation to other people. And for a huge portion of the population, that position is that I%u2019m Not OK-You%u2019re OK. This negative Life Position, shared by successful and unsuccessful people alike, contaminates our rational adult potential, leaving us vulnerable to the inappropriate, emotional reactions of our child and the uncritically learned behavior programmed into our parent. By exploring the four basic %u201Clife positions,%u201D we can radically change our lives. Due to age and/or environmental conditions, the pages of this book have darkened.
