SellWave Audio, 2025

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. In January 2023, Johann Hari began injecting himself weekly with Ozempic, one of the new weight-loss drugs that promises significant results. He wasn’t alone—some experts predict that, in a few years, a quarter of the U.S. population will be using these medications. While traditional diets fail around 80 percent of the time, users of these new drugs can lose up to a quarter of their body weight within six months. For many, it seems like a liberating solution to a problem that greatly increases the risk of diabetes, cancer, and premature death. But Hari was conflicted. Could these drugs really live up to the hype? Were they a true breakthrough, or merely a clever trick? To find answers, he embarked on a journey, traveling from Iceland to Minneapolis to Tokyo, interviewing leading experts to uncover the truth. Along the way, he discovered that while these drugs offer incredible benefits, they also come with twelve significant risks. More than just a weight-loss solution, these drugs challenge our understanding of obesity, willpower, shame, and healing. What do they reveal about the nature of our relationship with food? How do they reshape the psychological landscape when our eating patterns are suddenly altered? Are these drugs a form of liberation, or are they another symptom of our dysfunctional relationship with food? MAGIC PILL delves into the complex science, psychology, and cultural implications of these revolutionary drugs. As their influence grows, this book provides an essential guide to understanding their potential to transform lives—both for better and for worse. Experts suggest that the impact of these drugs could be as transformative as the advent of the smartphone.
