Practical, Usable Information Sep 08, 2009
I was recommended this book and read it for the first time about six months ago. It has been a life changing experience. The information in this book is practical, down to earth explanation of why people act the way the do and why you act the way you do. When reading this book i found myself thinking that the author must be writing about me. It divides people by how they deal with their problems by levels maturity and what the actions are of those levels. I never thought my life would change by learning to "mind my own Snowman". This is a great book that I highly recommend.
Very Helpful Jul 10, 2009
I found this book very helpful. It has helped me understand myself, understand my family members, be a little more happy, and improve the way that I deal with conflict in my marriage. The book reviews unhelpful ways in which people often deal with their emotions, and then it talks about characteristics of people who handle their emotions healthier ways. It also gives advice for how to handle conflicts when they arise. One of the most helpful parts for me was called the "911 stance". It is an easy list of rules to follow if you are in a conflict that will help you come to a resolution more easily. I have used various tools for conflict resolution (things given to me in pre-marital counseling, etc) that have not helped when I am actually involved in a conflict, but this really does help. If you are willing to make some changes in the ways that you think and the ways that you interact with others, this book can be very helpful to you.
Easy to understand and apply Jun 01, 2009
Snow People World breaks down relationships and interpersonal dynamics into an easy-to-understand model -- a snowman. As I read the book, I was immediately able to see what part of the snowman I tend to be, what part my husband tends to be, and how we "dance" together. It was helpful in showing me how I can "mind my own snow person" and still "play well with others." It's instantly applicable to love relationships, work relationships, family relationships, etc. It's a pretty quick read, so even if you're not much of a book-lover, it's worth getting and reading!
Definitely worth reading Apr 03, 2009
This book gave me a really helpful perspective to use to observe and understand myself, others, and my interactions with them. If you're experiencing a difficult relationship, I highly recommend this book. It was really helpful in helping me distinguish between what is "my stuff" (and how to get rid of or fix "my stuff") and what is "their stuff", and how to change my behavior and thinking to prevent "their stuff" from ruining my day.

If you deal with people, read this book! Nov 09, 2007
If you are irritated with a coworker, mate, neighbor, etc. and want the other party to change, you better read this book first. Snow People World explains why we communicate the way we do and makes sense out of why others communicate the way they do. It is a simple, easy guide that offers quick wins & long term solutions for better communication and turning around problematic situations. The examples apply to many real life situations and have great carry over value at work and in your personal life.
Awareness of your own mode of communication makes it possible to make better choices when dealing with others. The easy to understand graphs and pictures serve as a ready reference when ever you need them.
The section titled 'There is always a Win-Win' is an eye opener. And, the "911 Stance" is a great tool when things get tough. This book will help you get out of a rut if you are willing to use the three rules of Snow People World.
