The Brian Keane Podcast

Johann is the author of three New York Times best-selling books that have been translated into more than 37 languages, and been praised by a broad range of people, from Oprah to Noam Chomsky, from Elton John to Naomi Klein. His new book MAGIC PILL: The Extraordinary Benefits & disturbing risks – the New Weight Loss Drugs is available everywhere now.  This is hat trick appearance on the podcast, you can listen to Episode 281 from June 2020 Johann Hari on Lost Connections and Uncovering The Real Causes of Depression and Anxiety (And The Unexpected Solutions) and episode 363 in January 2022 titled Anxiety, stolen focus and why you can't pay attention.  We go a bit longer than normal in this podcast but as you’ll hopefully see from listening, there was a reason why. On top of providing all the pros, cons, benefits and risks of Ozempic and other weight loss drugs, there’s a brilliant Arnold Schwarzenegger and Australian media appearance story at the end that just summed up why I love Johan so much. Another must listen episode by one of the great authors and storytellers of our time.    (Website) Johann Hari | Official site (Facebook)  Facebook (Twitter) Johann Hari (@johannhari101) / X (twitter.com) (Youtube) Johann Hari - YouTube (Instagram) Johann Hari (@johann.hari) • Instagram photos and videos Magic Pill Book:  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Magic-Pill-Extraordinary-Benefits-Disturbing-ebook/dp/B0CPVB35B3   Episode 363 with Johan: https://briankeanefitness.libsyn.com/363-ny-times-best-selling-author-johann-hari-on-anxiety-stolen-focus-and-why-you-cant-pay-attention   Episode 281 with Johan: https://poddtoppen.se/podcast/1153346936/the-brian-keane-podcast/281-johann-hari-on-lost-connections-and-uncovering-the-real-causes-of-depression-and-anxiety-and-the-unexpected-solutions]
