Great resource for group meetings. | Customer Rating: | | We use this book in our Fortune 500 office all the time. In fact, people are always wanting to borrow it from me when they are planning meetings. It has excellent ideas that are easy to execute. Definitely a keeper! | Breaking the Ice | Customer Rating: | | The Big Book of Ice Breakers by Edie West is a very informative and fun look at ice breakers and how they are used. I read this book for a class project and to be honest, I'm glad that I did. The book describes in detail an array of ice breakers that can be used in the professional setting. The one downfall that I would have liked to have seen presented in the text is a little bit of a better understanding as to why these ice breakers are so important. For example, it would have been nice to see a few real life stories added in to demonstrate some of the results. It would have also been beneficial to demonstrate a few ice breakers that didn't pan out as had been planned in order to give the reader a sense of what to expect. I feel that this book is something that many professional adults should read and familiarize themselves with in order to make the atmosphere of the hectic workplace a little bit more comfortable and enjoyable. There is no such thing as all work and no play. Therefore, I believe just as West does that ice breakers are not a necessity, but they are definitely needed. This book gives descriptive plans on how to execute correct and beneficial ice breakers both indoors and outdoors. While, I had at first believed that the book was only going to cover ice breakers having to do with a professional atmosphere there are also a few ice breakers that refer to just simple everyday living. Therefore, basically anyone could benefit from reading this book. While all of the ice breakers are likely to work in a majority of situations, my favorite one is #50 You Are What You Read. This is because it is basically an activity to show that assumptions about people are not always correct and it is quite possible to have more in common with someone than you may think. Overall, this is an informative book and I recommend it to anyone wishing to "break the ice." | Good book | Customer Rating: | | This book is good for anyone that needs to get a bunch of people to talk amongst themselves.
