 Friday, December 28 - John Latini
Award-winning musician and two-time Detroit Blues Champ John Latini may have grown up in Queens, New York, but he's as truly a son of Michigan. It's not just that this singing, songwriting, guitar-slinging, uber-performing bluesman seems to be a perennial nominee for every Southeast Michigan music award (and winner of many); it's more that, whether he's fronting his band the Flying Latini Brothers, working in duos with longtime sidekicks Whit Hill or Jamie-Sue Seal, or most often, commanding the stage alone, John Latini personifies the best that the heartland, and especially Michigan's righteous rock history, has to offer: an honest, straight-ahead, no-nonsense commitment to real songs about real people. In addition to being a serious crafter of clever, literate songs, Latini is the purveyor of a slick, blues-soaked, economically hard-driving guitar style, and an intense, incandescent performer, with an emotional, testosterone-charged voice that the Ann Arbor Observer called "alternately celebratory, remorseful, seductive and dangerous." John will be performing songs from his latest CD, "Lovers Liars & Losers," as well as perennial favorites. www.smokinsleddogrecords.com
 Saturday, December 29 - Joel Palmer
Joel Palmer is a highly respected and renowned Detroit-based singer/songwriter, music teacher and accomplished guitarist. Known for his folk, blues and swing style, Joel is also a trained vocalist who can belt out a song or croon a tune while creating the sound of a small combo with his guitar. Audiences are treated to old nostalgic classics, jazz and swing tunes, and well-written originals. There's a very good possibility that a few members of the Dr. Swing band may accompany him! www.joelpalmermusic.com

Great Reads at Crazy Wisdom |
 Search Inside Yourself: The Unexpected Path to Achieving Success, Happiness (and World Peace)
(Hardcover)
By Chade-Meng Tan, Daniel Goleman, Jon Kabat-Zinn
List Price: $26.99
Our Price: $18.89
(Save: $8.10 30%)
For the benefits of meditation to become widely accessible to humanity, it cannot just be the domain of bald people in funny robes living in mountains, or small groups of New Age folks in San Francisco. Meditation needs to become "real." It needs to align with the lives and interests of real people.
-from Search Inside Yourself
Early Google engineer and personal growth pioneer Chade-Meng Tan first designed Search Inside Yourself as a popular course at Google intended to transform the work and lives of the best and brightest behind one of the most innovative, successful, and profitable businesses in the world . . . and now it can do the same for you. Meng has distilled emotional intelligence into a set of practical and proven tools and skills that anyone can learn and develop.
Created in collaboration with a Zen master, a CEO, a Stanford University scientist, and Daniel Goleman (the guy who literally wrote the book on emotional intelligence), this program is grounded in science and expressed in a way that even a skeptical, compulsively pragmatic, engineering-oriented brain like Meng's can process. Whether your intention is to reduce stress and increase well-being, heighten focus and creativity, become more optimistic and resilient, build fulfilling relationships, or just be successful, the skills provided by Search Inside Yourself will prove invaluable for you. This is your guide to enhancing productivity and creativity, finding meaning and fulfillment in your work and life, and experiencing profound peace, compassion, and happiness while doing so.
Search Inside Yourself reveals how to calm your mind on demand and return it to a natural state of happiness, deepen self-awareness in a way that fosters self-confidence, harness empathy and compassion into outstanding leadership, and build highly productive collaborations based on trust and transparent communication. In other words, Search Inside Yourself shows you how to grow inner joy while succeeding at your work. Meng writes: "Some people buy books that teach them to be liked; others buy books that teach them to be successful. This book teaches you both. You are so lucky."

 The Seventeen Solutions: Bold Ideas for Our American Future
(Paperback)
By Ralph Nader
List Price: $14.99
Our Price: $10.49
(Save: $4.50 30%)
More than ever, America needs fresh ideas-and bold solutions. Now, Ralph Nader-perhaps our last great civic idealist-offers seventeen ideas to rescue our country from corruption, complacency, and corporate domination.
America is in crisis. After enduring two decade-long wars and a devastating financial meltdown, We the People have been abandoned by the leaders we elected to serve our interests. Now, in response to our desperate times, pioneering reformer Ralph Nader offers a new program of seventeen ambitious but common-sense solutions to our chronic economic and social problems. Among them:
Reforming the tax system
Making our communities more self-reliant
Reclaiming science and technology for the people
Protecting the family
Getting corporations off welfare
Creating national charters for corporations
Reducing our bloated military budget
Organizing congressional watchdog groups
Enlisting the enlightened super-rich
Nader offers a stark assessment of our shared straits, but his solutions constitute an eye-opening plan to save America-before it's too late.
