The bestselling author of Lost Connections and Stolen Focus takes a revelatory look at the new drugs transforming weight loss as we know it - sharing his personal experience on Ozempic and examining our ability to heal society's dysfunctional relationship with food, weight and our bodies.
In January 2023, Johann Hari began injecting himself with Ozempic - one of the new drugs promising significant weight loss, which some predictions suggest one in four people in Britain will be taking in just a few years. But can they be as good as they sound? Are they a magic solution, or a magical illusion?
Hari's investigation takes him from Iceland to Minneapolis to Tokyo as he brings us into the heart of this pharmaceutical revolution, uncovering fascinating benefits and twelve high risks; interviewing the world's leading experts; and even sharing his own first-hand experiences.
This is what you need to know about the weight-loss drugs set to take over the world.
