As is always the case with a Johann Hari book, what appears to be a story about the drug, Ozempic turns out to be a portal into the deepest investigation and revelation on how to live a healthy life.”—V (Formerly Eve Ensler), The Vagina Monologues, Reckoning “A deep-dive into Ozempic couldn’t be more timely—and necessary—to get the full scope of how and why everyone is suddenly skinny!”—Andy Cohen “A fast paced and fascinating dive into an extremely sensitive topic, written by a charismatic and compulsively readable author.”—Dan Harris, #1 New York Times bestselling author of 10% Happier “Magic Pill is a fascinating exploration of weight-loss pharmaceuticals that will redefine our approach to obesity. From his own journey with Ozempic, to a global investigation spanning Iceland to Tokyo, Hari delves into the transformative potential—and concerns—surrounding these drugs.”—Charles Duhigg, bestselling author of The Power of Habit and Supercommunicators “With the intense interest in the new miracle weight-loss drugs, we need a balanced look at their promise and peril.
