The Big Book of Stress Relief Games: Quick, Fun Activities for Feeling Better [Paperback] Review

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...

Morning Sunshine!: How to Radiate Confidence and Feel It Too (Hardcover) Review

First of all, I should say that I had no idea who the author was before I picked up the book, which I think gave me a whole new perspective on her story.

The author was absolutely adorable. She's someone you'd actually want to know in real life because you can't help but like her. She reminds me of Heidi Klum - you want to hate her because she's so perfect, but you just can't because she's so darn nice!

I especially liked that the author was not just another child of rich parents with connections and actually had to work for her success. It was also refreshing to know that the author had actually written the book instead of getting a ghostwriter like so many celebrities. Kudos!

This has a nice, feel good, friendly vibe to it that makes you feel as if you're sitting listening to one of your girlfriends. The chapters are a nice length, but not too brief. There is a lot of useful information from someone who has truly been there and done that and can genuinely speak from experience. Definitely recommended for anyone looking for an upbeat, positive read!
