WHAT DO YOU SAY AFTER YOU SAY HELLO - The Psychology of Human Destiny

A thought-provoking and revealing book about human life and human interactions. Although written in the late sixties it is still very much relevant and not in the least outdated. Even if you do not accept the script theory as a whole (the system of thought with its jargon(which by the way is minimal compared to other theories of personality) and with the common myths that permeate it), this book provides valuable insights in many aspects of the human condition. Unlike other psychology books that present systems of thought attempting to encompass the whole spectrum of human life and end up missing out on all the finer detail by means of over-generalizations and an over-inflated writer's ego, this one uses the script theory ( that we all decide on important matters in our life at a very young age and live or act out our scripts accordingly)as a springboard for very profound ideas and observations put to paper in a simple and to-the-point language, revealing as I said rather than covering up with theoretical constructs and obscuring. A work by a very compassionate man and a pioneer in the field, who sadly passed away soon after the completion of the book. But as his heritage to people this book is as good as any, and better.
