Games People Play

Adam Ashton & Adam Jones
About this episode
Do you realise that you and all the people you know play games with each other – all the time? It can be sexual games with a love interest, competitive games with our friends, power games with our boss, or marital games with our spouse. Regardless of the subject matter or the setting, these games are deeply integrated into our daily lives that we become oblivious to them. Developed by Eric Berne, Games People Play is an original, wise, and witty analysis of the psychology behind human relationships through these phenomena. This week, Ashto and Jonesy delve into Berne’s investigation and learn how we actively or unconsciously participate in such a competitive form of social interaction.
