Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
Yes, you're all grown up and have to act like an adult. You are reading this so you have done a pretty good job of it. Maybe too good. Maybe lost the freedom and joy of being a kid. Climbing big trees. Splashing your friend. Giving a valentine to a sweetie. Watching butterflies flutter by. Sneaking a cookie.
Margaret Mead found a way around that horror.
I was wise enough to never grow upwhile fooling most people into believing I had.Get your kid back. Tell your Adult and Parent to shut up and get out of the way. Run out that door into the sunshine.

Synopsis
Increase love, creativity and adventure in your life. Berne has many ways to help you do that. My students and I found the very best. One of our favorites is the way he brings fairy tales into our lives.
Our culture provides many ready-made scripts that shape our lives. Berne believes many are found in the fairy tales of childhood.
Perhaps you know Cinderella. When young her favorite game is POOR LITTLE ME. She waits patiently for Prince Charming to come make her life beautiful and exciting. But as the years roll by and the fairy godmother and handsome prince don't show she changes from a quiet martyr to a bitter old biddy. She's been cheated and somebody's going to pay.
Men have negative scripts as well. You're the ugly frog that's never kissed. You're afraid to climb the bean stalk because you're pretty sure that ugly ogre is going to have you for lunch. You spend a lifetime looking for the foot that fits the glass slipper.
We'll show you ways to get rid of your negative scripts.

Sure, you're all grown up now and have to act like an adult. And you are reading this book so you have done a pretty good job of it. You might have done too good a job and lost the vitality, adventurousness and joy of being a kid.
