– I am afraid to tell you who I am because, if I do, you may not like me..slik starter forfatteren, derfor bærer vi masker, inntar roller og spiller (play games). Boken handler om hvordan vi kan finner ut hvem vi er, hvordan vi kan gjenkjenne og takle våre følelser på en sunn måte, å være oss bevisst hvordan vi reagerer på andre mennesker og samspill med andre mennesker. Viderer tar den opp forsvarsmekanismer vi bruker, og til sist en katalog som beskriver ulike roller vi bruker..den bekymrede, 'frelseren', klovnen osv.. Jeg leste denne boken tidlig i tyveårene, og jeg syns også at den passer best for unge mennesker som ønsker å finne ut hvem de er, og å vokse til en moden person.
