Book Description

November 27, 2004
With more than 7 million copies sold, and a spot on the New York Times Bestseller list, this pioneering self-help guide transformed the lives of countless readers.

"Harris has stripped away the technical language of psychoanalysis and presents with lucid logic a way to self-understanding and change."--The Los Angeles Times


Are you okay? That's probably the most important question anyone will ever answer, and Dr. Thomas Harris's groundbreaking bestseller helped millions respond in the affirmative. Using Transactional Analysis, which confronts the individual with the fact that he or she is responsible for what happens in the future, Dr. Harris explained how to distinguish the three active elements that make up everyone's personality (Parent, Adult, and Child), as well as the four life positions underlying people's actions. Best of all, his theories are presented in wonderfully easy-to-understand language, and there's practical advice on how to change harmful behavior. Anyone can lead a happier, more effective life and better understand friends and family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very stimulating and enlightening book!, December 13, 2000

This review is from: I'm Ok, You're Ok (Hardcover)
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand his or her behaviour in situations.

The "A-Ha" feeling you get when you start reading it comes when you understand why so-and-so makes you feel small or angry and why certain situations make you start playing some game.

It discusses the basic terminologies and vocabulary needed and then goes on to discuss in different social contexts and developmental contexts the application of Transaction Analysis.

This is not just a vague psychology book like Freud. It is extremely practical and insightful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life Changer, May 19, 2008
This review is from: I'm Ok, You're Ok (Hardcover)
I was first handed this book as a young graduate student and it transformed the way I view myself and others. This isn't a feel-good, pop psych book. It is a classic on the process of becoming much more self-aware and living the life you choose. Pass this one on to friends, family and colleagues . . .

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, with qualifiers, July 9, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: I'm Ok, You're Ok (Hardcover)
I read this book on an inner prompting and I'm so glad I did. It's been a long time since I read a psychology book. This is a refreshing reminder that reason and logic *can* be applied to human relationships. After reading this book, to be able to say "I'm OK" with all sincerity now pervades that sentiment with a new sensation of mild rapture.

After a while though, the author gets too heavy-handed with it: everything begins to look like a transactional analysis nail that we will pound on with a P-A-C hammer. I rather imagine people would rapidly get pretty sick of this technique if everyone and every event in life were constantly viewed transactional analysis glasses. By the end of the book, I began to get quite weary of the repetition of the same phrases - it begins to feel like a cult indoctrination handbook. Nevertheless, I think the information and the approach is worthwhile, as long as its not overdone.
