1.0 out of 5 stars Not for any corporation I work for...., July 12, 2001
By Steve Brennan "carr1on" (Grapevine, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Perhaps I was looking for the wrong thing. I expected a book on how to relieve stress with quick little games to do at the beginning of a business meeting. Instead, the 'games' in this book sound more like therapy sessions. Most are meditation and message exercises.

One example: The Glittering Roof, where you have everyone close their eyes and you, the facilitator, read a 2.5 page verbal 'fantasy' in a calm and soothing voice to the group. At the end, everyone discusses how they felt. There are many exercises like this in the book.

Another example (my favorite): The Beastly Boss. Again you start the group off with breathing and imagery exercises. Then you pair everyone off. One person assumes the role of Beastly Boss. The other the role of Exemplary Employee. The Beastly Boss then 'acts insensitively' while the Exemplary Employee employs more breathing and imagery techniques to remain cool. Then they switch. Puh-leez! Can anyone think of a quicker way to be sent to a remote location than to try this on your co-workers?

This is not for corporate profesionals...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great stress-management techniques...., September 1, 2001
Personally, I think this book is easy to read and understand. The games presented in the book are unique and simple to apply. Many companys and businesses experience stress daily. Therefore, this book provides numerous ways to help relieve stress in the workplace. I strongly recommend this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not for the Workplace
I agree with the previous reviewer that this book is too focused on therapy-type games instead of games that teach more practical skills. Read more
