We're thrilled to welcome Johann Hari, New York Times bestselling author of Chasing the Scream, Lost Connections, and Stolen Focus, for an in-person discussion of his powerful new book, Magic Pill.
Johann is an internationally acclaimed writer, TED speaker, and podcast guest whose work tackles some of the most important issues of our time. From addiction and mental health to the food industry and now the Ozempic era, he brings a rare mix of deep research, personal insight, and charisma to every topic he explores. If you've heard him on the Rich Roll Podcast, Diary of a CEO, Huberman Lab, or On Purpose with Jay Shetty, you know he has a way of making complex ideas feel personal, like you're listening to someone you've known for years.
This special event, held at Woodway Country Club in Darien, will feature a discussion of Magic Pill, Johann's most recent book, which investigates the rise of weight loss medications like Ozempic and the societal forces that brought us to this moment. With signature depth and empathy, Hari explores how these drugs intersect with issues of body image, health, addiction, and personal autonomy-offering readers the tools they need to make informed and empowered decisions.
"Johann Hari has a rare gift for diving deep into urgent social issues while making them deeply human," said John Hamilton, CEO of Liberation Programs. "This book-and this conversation-is about far more than weight loss. It's about how we live, what we value, and how we care for ourselves and each other."
