Book Summary 
First published in 1978 (with later anniversary editions) this classic self‑help book combines Transactional Analysis (TA) and Gestalt therapy into a practical guide for realizing your potential and becoming authentically self‑directed. Beginning with the core TA framework—Parent, Adult, Child ego‑states—it examines how individuals play psychological “games” and get stuck in life scripts that undermine confidence and connection. The authors offer clarity with over fifty Gestalt exercises, including role‑plays and self‑reflection prompts, to help readers recognize unconscious patterns, resolve internal conflict, and cultivate mature autonomy. Celebrated for its clarity, actionable guidance, and transformative insight, the book has sold over four million copies and is praised by Psychology Today as “the clearest … and easily the best popular book of them all”.

At its heart, Born to Win affirms that everyone is inherently capable of growth, self‑esteem, ethical clarity, and fulfilling relationships. Its strengths lie in making complex psychological theory accessible and participatory—rather than a passive read, the book’s hands‑on format invites readers to act—to change how they communicate, build relationships, and intentionally shape their lives as winners rather than passive bystanders .
