Managing to Have Fun: How Fun at Work Can Motivate Your ... (ISBN 0684827085)

Disappointing:
Sorry, but this does not meet expectations, especially after you read all these good reviews. The book is not very well written, a lot of ideas are just not funny, many should not be implemented unless you want to get fired and the few good ideas can only be followed by company owners. I don't know if its cultural differences that count here (I'm in Greece), but I think this book is not good even for US residents. I would give more stars if many ideas were taken out, the rest were better written and the price was lower. One more thing: several real-life examples do not seem so real-life to me. I have a strong feeling that these are "engineered" to fit in the book... The two stars are for the first part of the book, not the specific ideas.

Life Doesn't Have To Be So Solemn:
If work is too consuming and life too earnest, read Managing to Have Fun by Weinstein. Introducing some lightheartedness at work may be a lifesaver. The books give 52 unexpected activities to motivate employees or inspire coworkers. If you feel stressed and overworked, chances are those around you feel it too. I must admit that I was one of those overly earnest bosses and I wish I'd discovered this book earlier in my career. My staff would have appreciated some stress relieving activities.

Here's a vote for SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTIOM:
I am very happy that this book can be purchased for $.01 on Amazon Marketplace and that others can learn and prosper as the previous readers and reviewers have already done. How can you top motivating your employees, inspiring coworkers, boosting the bottom line and having fun?

good book with lots of creative ideas that are easy to implement and build moral.
