About this listen

Bloomsbury presents Magic Pill written and read by Johann Hari.

'I learned so much' DAVINA McCALL
'Will help you think more clearly about eating, dieting, health and mental health' JONATHAN HAIDT

Over the last decade, an extraordinary scientific breakthrough has taken place. A new kind of drug has arrived on the market, working in an unprecedented way to revolutionise weight loss and dieting.

In 2023, Johann Hari began injecting himself with one of the weight loss drugs transforming how we look, feel and live.

What began as a personal journey soon took him on an international investigation, tackling some of the most world-changing issues as he asked: Who should be taking these medications? How are they set to change not only the way we think about weight loss, but our economies? What are the benefits – and what are the risks?

This is the book to read on the weight loss drugs taking over the world.

'Really important, and very necessary' STEPHEN FRY
'Compassionate, wise and mind-expanding . . . A must read' PHILIPPA PERRY

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The best part of this is that it brings in multiple viewpoints and even dares to question things that ”have always been like this”. Well worth the read/listen.

It was fascinating learning about the big food companies and how they have harmed our health, and how now Big Pharma will now make billions to help us out of the health crisis we are now in. But I was most interested in Johann’s insights of living with obesity. As a health professional I found this lived experience knowledge invaluable. Such an amazing communicator on health topics.!
