Por el autor de El valor de la atenci�n, Johann Hari.
Cuando Johann Hari vio su foto como cliente del mes en el Kentucky Fried Chicken que hab�a a la vuelta de la esquina, constat� que ten�a un problema grave con su alimentaci�n, su peso y su salud. Fue en ese momento cuando acudi� al m�dico y empez� a inyectarse Ozempic, el nuevo f�rmaco contra la obesidad que ha revolucionado el mundo de la salud y de la industria farmac�utica. Algunas proyecciones sugieren que, en pocos a�os, una cuarta parte de la poblaci�n de Occidente recurrir� al mismo tratamiento. Para sus defensores, medicamentos como Ozempic prometen una verdadera cura, contrarrestando riesgos como la diabetes, el c�ncer y la muerte prematura. Pero son realmente tan buenos como parecen?
Si El valor de la atenci�n nos sumerge en las causas y las consecuencias de vivir pegados al tel�fono celular, este nuevo libro aborda otra de las mayores obsesiones de la vida moderna: perder peso. Para ello, el autor se embarca en un viaje desde Islandia hasta Tokio y Minneapolis para entrevistar a cient�ficos, m�dicos y pacientes que sacan a la luz los riesgos que estos nuevos f�rmacos tienen para nuestra salud f�sica y mental. Al mismo tiempo, expone las implicaciones que su consumo tendr� en la econom�a, la nutrici�n y el sistema sanitario. Los Ozempics est�n a punto de transformar nuestro mundo, para bien y para mal. Es hora de entenderlos desde una perspectiva cient�fica, emocional y cultural.
En el umbral de una revoluci�n m�dica, este libro es una gu�a esencial por el complejo paisaje cient�fico, emocional y cultural de este fascinante territorio inexplorado que son los medicamentos para adelgazar . --Charles Duhigg, autor de El poder de los h�bitos
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
By the author of Stolen Focus, Johann Hari.
When Johann Hari saw his photo as "Customer of the Month" at the Kentucky Fried Chicken around the corner, he realized he had a serious problem with his diet, weight, and health. That was the moment he went to the doctor and started injecting Ozempic, the new anti-obesity drug that has revolutionized the health and pharmaceutical industries. Some projections suggest that, in a few years, a quarter of the Western population will turn to the same treatment. For its advocates, medications like Ozempic promise a true cure, counteracting risks such as diabetes, cancer, and premature death. But are they really as good as they seem?
If Stolen Focus immersed us in the causes and consequences of living glued to our phones, this new book tackles another major obsession of modern life: losing weight. To explore this, the author embarks on a journey from Iceland to Tokyo and Minneapolis, interviewing scientists, doctors, and patients who reveal the risks these new drugs pose to our physical and mental health. At the same time, he examines the implications their use will have on the economy, nutrition, and healthcare systems. Ozempic and similar drugs are about to transform our world--for better and for worse. It's time to understand them from a scientific, emotional, and cultural perspective.
"On the brink of a medical revolution, this book is an essential guide through the complex scientific, emotional, and cultural landscape of the fascinating, unexplored territory of weight-loss medications." --Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit
