Why Your Arguments Follow the Same Script Every Time

Have you noticed how certain conversations feel eerily familiar, like you've had them a thousand times before? The colleague who asks for advice then shoots down every suggestion. The partner whose complaints always spiral into the same explosive fight. These aren't random occurrences-they're psychological "games" we unconsciously play. Eric Berne's revolutionary 1964 book revealed these hidden patterns, initially self-published after multiple rejections, only to become an international sensation selling over five million copies. What makes this work so powerful isn't just its insights into human behavior, but its ability to show us the invisible scripts controlling our daily interactions-and how we might rewrite them.
