This is the only book based on psychology that I have managed to finish. This one is on Transactional Analysis. It says how a single person is actually a combination of three ego states - parent, child and adult. And effective communication is only possible among individuals if they happen to be in supporting ego states at the time of conversation.
A must-read for many reasons. For one, it explains why we sometimes do some really stupid things! For another, you realize why somebody else or why you yourself have certain pre-set notions about things. Going back to our childhood, what have we been taught to understand. Overall this is a good book, but there is so much psychology that reading it is hard work.
