'Hari's storytelling is phenomenal' STEVEN BARTLETT
'Will help you think more clearly about eating, dieting, health and mental health' JONATHAN HAIDT
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.
'Really important, and very necessary' STEPHEN FRY
'Compassionate, wise and mind-expanding . . . A must read' PHILIPPA PERRY
