With a blend of personal stories, scientific insights, and cultural analysis, listeners will be captivated. Hari’s personal journey and the extensive research into obesity and the pros and cons of new treatments resonate deeply.
This is not a simple book about weight loss. Instead, Hari explores obesity-related medical concerns and the risks of drugs such as Ozempic, all the while peppering the book with anecdotes designed to remind readers that the choices they make about weight loss often have far less to do with the number on the scale than they do with the stories they have been told about their bodies.
This well-written and well-documented book offers a powerful argument against the pharmacological treatment of depression and raises some provocative arguments. Highly recommended.
By allowing readers to get to know those affected by drugs, be they addicts, dealers, law enforcement officers, or those toiling to better understand addiction and improve treatment, Hari has created much more than a chronology. He unites the history, the human story, and the arguments for reform in a complex and compelling account. [See Prepub Alert, 7/28/14.]
