A Special Presentation by: Dr. Peter Whybrow

A rare opportunity to engage in a discussion with Dr. Peter Whybrow, Director of The UCLA Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior and author of LA Times Best Seller – America Mania: When More Is Not Enough.

Dr. Whybrow is widely recognized for his extensive scientific contributions in the areas of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, as well as his unique literary work and ability to combine lucid prose philosophy, history, science and vibrant personal stories.

His past works have focused on how America’s reward-driven debt-fueled economy has endangered our physical and fiscal health, and fostered the culture of greed and excess that triggered the world financial crisis of 2008.
