- 'A wonderfully accessible exploration of one of the most complex problems of our age' TELEGRAPH'Magic Pill will help you think more clearly about eating, dieting, health and mental health, even if you never touch Ozempic' JONATHAN HAIDTThe 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 started to inject himself once a week with Ozempic, one of the new drugs that produces significant weight loss. He wasn't alone - some predictions suggest that in a few years, one in four of the British population will be taking these drugs. While around 80 per cent of diets fail, someone taking one of the new drugs is likely to lose up to a quarter of their body weight in six months. To the drugs' defenders, this is a moment of liberation from a condition that massively increases your chances of diabetes, cancer and an early death. Still, Hari was wildly conflicted. Can these drugs really be as good as they sound? Are they a magic solution - or a magical illusion? Finding the answer to this high-stakes question led him on a journey from Iceland to Minneapolis to Tokyo, and to interview the leading experts in the world on these issues. He found that along with the drugs' massive benefits come twelve significant potential risks. He also learned that these drugs radically challenge what we think we know about shame, willpower and healing. These drugs are about to change our world, for better and for worse. Everybody needs to understand how they work - scientifically, emotionally and culturally. Magic Pill is an essential guide to the revolution that has already begun - and which one leading expert argues could be as transformative as the invention of the smartphone.'A brilliant synthesis of so much important information. Really important, and very necessary' STEPHEN FRY'Compassionate, wise and mind-expanding . . . A must read' PHILIPPA PERRY

Preventive Medicine Editorial Review
**** "Magic Pill: The Extraordinary Benefits and Disturbing Risks of the New Weight Loss Drugs" presents a thoughtful exploration into weight loss medications, particularly focusing on newer options available to those struggling with obesity. The author, Johann Hari, is praised for his engaging narrative style that makes complex scientific information accessible to a general audience. Readers appreciate the balanced discussion of both the potential benefits and risks associated with weight-loss drugs, while also Considering broader societal issues related to obesity. Many reviewers found the book to be an enjoyable read, noting it can be Consumed quickly, making it a perfect companion over a weekend. The author’s personal stories intertwined with scientific data create a relatable context that resonates with readers, especially those contemplating the use of such medications. However, a few criticisms mar the overall positive reception. An apparent factual error related to a quote from Jay Rayner drew criticism, leading some readers to question the book's editorial oversight. Additionally, some felt that the book leaned more heavily into the socio-cultural aspects of obesity rather than focusing solely on weight-loss medications as initially anticipated. Despite its flaws, the book is recommended for anyone interested in a comprehensive overview of the weight loss drug landscape, with an emphasis on understanding the dual nature of these medications — both their potential and their pitfalls. **
