The Big Book of Stress Relief Games: Quick, Fun Activities for Feeling Better

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...

Nothing with cientific relation and so many similar exercises. I do not find any good execise for May workshop. All this can find it at internet

I use this in designing stress relief training programs. I like the approach it explains in having fun at work.

I had to adapt them slightly to fit the comfort level of the students but we had fun and had a good laugh at it and was able to get back to work to be more productive.

very helpful in relieving daily stress

This is a collection of activities and exercises that you can use during training or meetings (or even alone) to reduce stress and make you more relaxed. Some of the activities are quite good especially the breathing exercises and the visualizations. However, there are quite a few activities that are quite ridiculous as well as others that are just not possible at work or in the training room.For trainers, many activities are useful as icebreakers or as stress-reducers after a heated discussion. The reason I bought the book in the first place is because I could not find anything else in that category, so I guess there isn't really that much choice.

Book arrived with movie we ordered and the top right hand corner was folded over. Disappointed with the look of the book since this is a Christmas present.

This hasn't really helped me. It is mostly tips for people in the work place not general stress. Has mostly group games.
