Organizers Chris Lindsay and Tim Chilcote decided to start the group because we share an enthusiasm for Michigan, in particular its prolific literary talent, as well as its breweries and wineries. The Michigan Beer & Book Club is a group out of Ann Arbor that will meet on the second Wednesday of each month to discuss one or two books that are either written by Michigan authors, or feature Michigan in some way. We'll meet at a local watering hole that serves Michigan beer and wine. If you are a f …

The Royal Oak Book Club was created out of a passion for the written word, a desire to connect with others who share that passion, and as an opportunity to enhance one another's appreciation of any given piece of literature through open discussion in a comfortable social setting. We do not promote a particular genre or theme, but are open to and would be interested in exploring any type of literature in which the group expresses interest. If you love to read, if you enjoy the stimulation, both i …

The Good Reads and Good Eats book club meets at 7:00 p.m. on the first Tuesday of each month at a local restaurant to discuss the month's book selection. Book selections are made monthly through a poll on this website.

The purpose of this group is to bring local writers together for friendship, community, support, socialization, constructive criticism and discussion. The goal is to improve writing skills, handle writer's block, and increase the joy and time spent actively writing. Come see what the group is about!

… To give us some focus and direction, we're starting off with a couple of books:  Mortimer J. Adler  Ten Philosophical Mistakes  and Bertrand Russell's The Problems of Philosophy.   They offer us a range of philosophic topics for dedicated lovers of wisdom.  Then. Let's see where it goes. If it sounds like something you're interested in, join up. Max

Looking for something unusual to read? Not interested in what book Oprah's hawking this month? Want to chat with other "nerds"? Perhaps this is the meetup for you. The motivation for this book club is a lack of groups that read sci-fi or fantasy, but the goal is for all members to contribute suggestions to the reading list; it will continue to evolve as we do. And speaking of evolution, the group has decided to expand into movie viewing and discussion! Please head over to our message board for m …

Happiness is fleeting.  The "Bluebird of Happiness" flies into our lives and out.  We know when we're happy, because we feel light-as-a-feather and smile more often.  Our hearts thank us as do our bodies, minds and spirits. This is a group designed to enhance and elevate your happiness quotient.  We will talk about "the art of happiness" and how to experience more of it in our lives.  Join us, will you?

This group will follow Karen Armstrong's 12 Step program for becoming more compassionate. Please visit http://charterforcompassion.org/

Hi, thanks for stopping by! I started this group out of my interest in Positive Psychology, meditation, mindfulness, flow, resilience, optimism and related applications to health, relationships, business, parenting, education and personal growth. An interesting aside is that several current and former faculty at The University of Michigan have been instrumental in the development of Positive Psychology. I'd like to do things like a Positive Psychology book discussion, have informal chats, inv …
