Summary

The psychotherapist and author of Scripts People Live shows readers how to use their personal strengths to achieve what they want. 
 
Claude M. Steiner (1935–2017) was a bestselling author and psychotherapist who pioneered the popular field of Transactional Analysis, which involves analysis of an individual’s social interactions as a basis for understanding behavior. First published in 1981 and now back in print, The Other Side of Power is the sequel to Dr. Steiner’s influential Scripts People Live and feels as relevant today as ever. 
 
Power—we all want it, we all need it. We feel its effects in our business, family, and personal relationships. In this accessible volume, Dr. Steiner shows how everyone can be powerful without being power-hungry. Instead of chasing the increasingly empty and improbably “conventional American power dream,” as Dr. Steiner puts it, the other side of power—our own personal strengths—can be used to get us what we want. This humane approach is not predicated upon the exploitation or manipulation of others, which leads to power for the few and not the many. In clear terms and with specific examples, the author shows how to draw instead upon individual strengths to neutralize and turn to advantage situations that could otherwise result in feeling of powerlessness. 
 
The Other Side of Power teaches us that once we understand the nature of power, we can learn to deal with it more comfortably and use it toward more rewarding personal and professional relationships. Dr. Steiner’s classic in psychological theory offers a meaningful and practical guide to harnessing the other side of power.

    Opposite The Crowd - To be who...

    “Opposite The Crowd '' is a series of conversations that spans decades. It’s a body of work, a compilation of interviews, that reveals a way of thinking and a belief system that creates a unique culture – a successful culture by any standard – and one that’s desperately needed in the present. It’s a profound and transparent advocacy of relatable communications that close gaps – with yourself and others. It’s about identifying a gap that exists in all of us – who we are, who we aspire to be, and how we close that gap for professional and personal fulfillment. 
The storytelling shared in “Opposite The Crowd” is universal. It’s relevant for all generations in any place in time. Personal lives and professional lives intertwine. “Opposite The Crowd” pulls back the curtain and unveils parallels between managing a career and managing a life. It all starts with a way of thinking that unlocks limiting beliefs and propels readers into key areas of joy and prosperity. It’s an album of maverick strategies, by father and son maverick thinkers Alan and Chris Burkhard. Alan’s operating philosophies have now become his son Chris’ philosophies.  
Initially, the intent was to curate a family legacy chronicle for future generations, but as the project progressed, a thundering undertone surfaced: Our conversations are impactful enough to integrate value into many lives. Our resounding through-line is less about chasing and more about innovative, even unconventional operating philosophies that could be considered nonconformist – they may go against norms – AND THAT’S OK!  
Many of us live with a gap between where we are and where we want to be. In order to have what you want, you have to put in the work. To be who you want to be, you must know who you are.
