„Ég lærði ótrúlega mikið.“ DAVINA McCALL
„Hjálpar þér að hugsa skýrar um mataræði, megrun, heilsu og geðheilbrigði.“ JONATHAN HAIDT
Á síðasta áratug hefur orðið einstök vísindaleg bylting. Ný tegund lyfja hefur komið á markað sem virkar með áður óþekktum hætti og gerbreytir þyngdartapi og megrun. Árið 2023 hóf Johann Hari að sprauta sig með einu þeirra megrunarlyfja sem eru að breyta því hvernig við lítum út, hvernig okkur líður og hvernig við lifum.
Það sem hófst sem persónulegt ferðalag leiddi hann fljótlega í alþjóðlega rannsókn á ýmsum brýnustu álitaefnum samtímans. Hverjir ættu að taka þessi lyf? Hvernig munu þau breyta ekki aðeins hugmyndum okkar um þyngdartap heldur einnig efnahagskerfum okkar? Hver er ávinningurinn og hver er áhættan?
Þetta er bókin fyrir alla sem vilja kynna sér megrunarlyfin sem fara nú sigurför um heiminn.
„Einstaklega mikilvæg og bráðnauðsynleg.“ STEPHEN FRY
