Kate Pickett and Richard Wilkinson are authors of the The Spirit Level: why greater equality makes societies stronger, the 2009 book that highlighted the corrosive effects of income and wealth inequality. Released this month is their second book, Inner Level: how more equal societies reduce stress, restore sanity and improve everybody's well-being . Their ideas are ground-breaking in identifying the profoundly detrimental effects of economic inequality on society both here and almost everywhere.

Their presentation will be followed by a panel discussion with:

Dr. Ben Danielson, Children's Hosp. pediatrician and head of Odessa Brown Clinic
Dr. Julian Perez (SeaMar) Family Physician
Dr. Hilary Godwin, Dean of The University of Washington, School of Public Health
Linn Gould , Founder and Director of Just Health Action
