英文简介:
The bestselling author of Lost Connections and Stolen Focus offers a revelatory look at the new drugs transforming weight loss as we know it–from his personal experience on Ozempic to our ability to heal our society’s dysfunctional relationship with food, weight, and our bodies.
In January 2023, Johann Hari started to inject himself once a week with Ozempic, one of the new drugs that produces significant weight loss.
He wasn’t alone–some predictions suggest that in a few years, a quarter of the U.
S.
population will be taking these drugs.
While around 80 percent of diets fail, someone taking one of the new drugs will lose up to a quarter of their body weight in six months.
To the drugs’ defenders, here is a moment of liberation from a condition that massively increases your chances of diabetes, cancer, and an early death.
Still, Hari was wildly conflicted.
Can these drugs really be as good as they sound? Are they a magic solution–or a magic trick? Finding the answer to this high-stakes question led him on a journey from Iceland to Minneapolis to Tokyo, and to interview the leading experts in the world on these questions.
He found that along with the drug’s massive benefits come twelve significant potential risks.
He also found that these drugs radically challenge what we think we know about shame, willpower, and healing.
What do they reveal about the nature of obesity itself? What psychological issues begin to emerge when our eating patterns are suddenly disrupted? Are the drugs a liberation or a further symptom of our deeply dysfunctional relationship with food? These drugs are about to change our world, for better and for worse.
Everybody needs to understand how they work–scientifically, emotionally, and culturally.
Magic Pill is an essential guide to the revolution that has already begun, and which one leading expert argues will be as transformative as the invention of the smartphone.
中文简介:
这位畅销书作者《Lost Connections and Stolen Focus》对改变我们所知的减肥方式的新药进行了启示性的探讨——从他个人服用 Ozempic 的经历到我们治愈社会与食物、体重和身体之间失调关系的能力。
2023 年 1 月，Johann Hari 开始每周给自己注射一次 Ozempic，这是一种能显着减肥的新药。
他并不孤单——一些预测表明，几年后，四分之一的美国人将服用这些药物。
虽然大约 80% 的节食方法都失败了，但服用其中一种新药的人会在六个月内减轻多达四分之一的体重。
对于药物的捍卫者来说，这是一个从大大增加患糖尿病、癌症和过早死亡机会的疾病中解放出来的时刻。
尽管如此，哈里还是非常矛盾。
这些药物真的像听起来那么好吗？它们是一个神奇的解决方案还是一个魔术？为了找到这个高风险问题的答案，他踏上了从冰岛到明尼阿波利斯再到东京的旅程，并采访了世界上有关这些问题的顶尖专家。
他发现，除了该药物的巨大益处之外，还存在十二种重大的潜在风险。
他还发现这些药物从根本上挑战了我们对羞耻感、意志力和治愈能力的认知。
它们揭示了肥胖本身的哪些本质？当我们的饮食习惯突然被打乱时，会出现哪些心理问题？这些药物是一种解放，还是我们与食物关系严重失调的进一步症状？这些药物将改变我们的世界，无论是好是坏。
每个人都需要了解他们的工作方式——科学的、情感的和文化的。
Magic Pill 是一场已经开始的革命的重要指南，一位权威专家认为，这场革命将像智能手机的发明一样具有变革性。
