The bottom line is that I had fun
playing the Appreciation Game. Beyond that it was very
thought provoking and the social aspect was great. I
made meaningful connections with others quickly and
easily and I felt free to express my opinions on a variety
of subjects because the game encouraged everyone to
do so in a very non-confrontational way.

"The
appreciation game is like a fertile garden. It brings
together people along with the opportunity to explore
themselves more deeply in a very fun and light hearted
way. I met incredible people, practiced appreciating
them and had a whole lot of fun"

I've
played the appreciation game with a group of strangers,
long time friends and colleagues from work. This game
is fun, easy to learn and brings out the best in people.
As the focus is recognition of positive qualities of
each individual player, this game has the power to develop
our intuition, imagination and appreciation for diversity.
It left me with a wonderful warm fuzzy feeling of friendliness
towards all.

following is an excerpt from a longer letter of
reference given to me on September 10, 2000 at point
in the development of the Appreciation Game when
it was known as Life Appreciation 101. To the sadness
of many the writer has since passed away from Cancer.
She was a bright, beautiful person and she is missed.) |
I
met Mr. Hanson at the Chamber of Commerce HOST meetings,
where he first talked to me of his idea. As a therapist,
I am always looking for various tools to use in my practice
to help clients come to resolution, and I was intrigued
by the possibilities of his game.
I
can readily see it's value while working with couples,
in workshops where communication is an issue, and in
groups of social phobics, all of which I treat. I intend
to use Mr. Hanson's game for these populations, and
for whatever other population I may deem it applicable.

"Appreciaton"
encourages all persons to be positve. It's a unique,
fun game which always ends up a Win/Win. One walks away
from an evening of "Appreciation" in an uplifted state.
The term "stressed out" is heard so frequently nowadays;
this game is definitely a destressor and, therefore,
a must. I have no hesitation in recommending "Apprecation".
