Podcast appearances and mentions of Johann Hari

Thank You To Our Partners The Institute, AutoFlow, AutoLeap, Shop Dog Marketing, In-BoundWatch Full Video EpisodeTodays Show Post - Our notes today will be in a different format, written by our host.Welcome to another episode of Speak Up - Effective communication.Your place for focusing on elevating our communication skills in the auto repair industry - I'm your host Craig O'Neill…. I want you to ask yourself a question today - each time you receive a notification on one of your devices:Do I need this?Do I need to do something about this RIGHT NOW?This has been my question for any number of the alerts that pop onto my screens on a daily basis. - - As I've been at war with distractions in my life. Loyal listeners have become familiar with my growing concern on the topic and I feel that I've begun to find some more balance slowly as of late and will share whats working for me.Of note - I've been reading a book titled, “Stolen Focus - Why you can't pay attention and how to think deeply again” by Johann Hari.This read was a referral from Carm Capriotto - and it's worth your attention.In our episode today, I have some thoughts on the topic of notifications - and hope to get you thinking differently on what YOU are allowing devices to compromise YOUR focus!Our Word of the Day:Frenetic: fre·net·icadjectivefast and energetic in a rather wild and uncontrolled way.Listen to this excerpt from the book, Stolen Focus - the author, Johann Hari, writes about a conversation with a friend who was getting notifications for things he didn't want… and I'll quote: “... All this frenetic digital interruption is “pulling our attention away from our thoughts,” and I think we're almost in this constant stimulus-driven, stimulus bound environment, moving from one distraction to the next.” If you don't remove yourself from that, it will "suppress whatever train of thought you had.” That is a quote from Stolen Focus - Why you can't pay attention and how to think deeply again.”The consequences of distractions are real - not just from tasks - but from our creative thoughts and even healthy mindwandering. Hari mentions in his book that “a distraction such as looking at an image from a friend pulls the average person away for up to 20 mins! Not just one! And if you look around, you'll recognize that the distractions are EVERYwhere - and we now have this habitual tendency to scan for them, in our own pockets, and on our own wrists! Look around you now - how many people do you see distracted by devices?Before you blame yourself or feel bad about this - let me state - our technological world has been engineered this way in a deliberate attempt to get more engagement from us. I will say - while I, like all modern humans, struggle with distractions, I have come to develop a few VERY simple and reasonable disciplines regarding notifications.I feel sometimes a little old-fashioned on this… but as I discussed recently in

This week has been a brutal reminder of how politics and politicians like to work and be seen. How important it is to be the centre of attention, to be seen to be ‘doing' - even if it's just for appearances and there's little evidence of a real productive outcome. Whether it's destabilizing global economic and trade order, championing legislation that's dead on arrival, or feeling the need to speak for 25 hours straight, it has definitely been a fascinating week in politics. But for all the attention seeking, polarisation and stoking of grievances, there's also been some good work going on. This week, David Seymour announced the weight-loss drug Wegovy has been approved by Medsafe, with its producer hoping to make it available in New Zealand as soon as possible. Wegovy is like the celebrity-championed Ozempic - it's a semaglutide injection that acts to regulate appetite by increasing the feeling of fullness and reducing food cravings. Unlike Ozempic, which is approved in New Zealand to treat type 2 diabetes, Wegovy is approved just as a weight loss drug. I've very much sat on the fence when it comes to these drugs - like many people, including author Johann Hari, who has used Ozempic and written at length about it in his best-selling book Magic Pill. He cites the many concerns around the use of this drug - including its wide availability in parts of the world, its impact on eating disorders, or those who don't really need it. Then there's the long list of side effects and the possibility you might need to stay on it for life to maintain your weight. And then there's the simple boredom of living life without an appetite. But if you use this drug selectively on people who have exhausted other means of losing weight and are facing serious health issues - it could be a massive game changer for our health system. It was a cardiologist involved in heart transplants who convinced me of the importance of access to drugs like Wegovy. She told me it could be the one thing which stops a heart transplant being the only option left for her patients. I've had GPs say to me that this could have a huge impact on reducing type 2 diabetes, orthopaedic issues, cancer, and strokes. They are not saying it should be available for every obese New Zealander - that would be 1 in 3 adults - but for patients with chronic complex conditions. But here's the thing - at this stage Pharmac is not funding the drug, and it is cost prohibitive. Wegovy is available in Australia, it costs NZ$497 per month for the recommended dose required to have the best weight management outcome. So, serious work needs to go into assessing the benefit a drug such as this could have on reducing the burden on our health system. If the benefits outweigh the costs, then it needs to be funded by Pharmac as soon as possible. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's episode is a rebroadcast of a popular show we did with New York Times Bestselling author Johann Hari, on his research about drug markets and how drug prohibition incentivizes and rewards crime and violence. We're creating the very thing we're supposed to be fighting.  It's counter-intuitive, but the harder we crack down on the drug supply, the more crime we have seen and will continue to see. It's not chance. It's economics, and Johann breaks it down and makes it easy to understand for everyone.  His book, “Chasing the Scream: the First and Last Days of the War on Drugs,” helped spark the movement that created End It For Good and this podcast.

Do you find it increasingly difficult to maintain your attention for extended periods? Whether it's reading a book, watching a film, or even engaging in conversation, the ability to focus seems to be slipping away. This phenomenon is one of the biggest challenges of our times, and there's no denying the significant impact of handheld digital devices. Just take a look around - the majority of people on a train platform are glued to their phones. But what's the big deal? The capacity to pay attention is fundamental to a good life and high performance. The author of Stolen Focus Johann Hari explains more

This week Nicola and Di chat with an Earth Angel, Sarah Grynberg who has interviewed some of the most incredible people including Matthew McConaughey, Jay Shetty and Dr Gabor Mate to name just a few. Sarah is a mindset coach, international speaker and world-renowned podcast host. She is also the author of a brand new book, Living a Life of Greatness - steps to a fulfilling existence, and loving mum to her 2 kids. In this inspiring conversation, we hear how Sarah built a career for herself in media, and was living what many people would describe as a glamorous, dream life - she was the producer of one of the most successful breakfast radio programs in the country, but on the inside, she was miserable. Sarah describes how in this period when she was feeling low and flat, she turned to personal development books and began implementing the tools she was learning and her whole life started to change. She also describes the way she manifested her dream job - as the executive producer of the Hamish and Andy podcast. This led to Sarah starting her own podcast, A Life of Greatness, which has become super successful with Sarah interviewing hundreds of amazing people who are dedicated to carving out lives of greatness. We have so much fun chatting to Sarah about some of the incredible people she’s interviewed including Dr. Joe Dispenza, Johann Hari, Dr. Andrew Huberman and Sarah’s personal favourite - you’ll have to tune in to hear who that was! Sarah also shares some really helpful tips for how people can begin to make positive changes in their life, and how to get unstuck from negative thoughts. She shares what she’s learnt about relationships and the importance of not just reading self-help books, but actually practising and implementing the changes. This was such a beautiful conversation about the power each and every one of us has to create the life we want, follow our dreams and live our own life of greatness. We absolutely loved having Sarah in the studio and we hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did. This episode is proudly sponsored by Eir Women.

Johann Hari spent a year on the weight-loss drug Ozempic, and it worked — better than he could've imagined. But the treatment left him deeply conflicted.

Hey Lifers!Over the past 4 months we have been working on this very special project; a brand new 10 part mini series called Cloud, hosted by Life Uncut’s Executive Producer Keeshia Pettit. Cloud is a podcast series created to discuss ADHD and late age diagnosis; a conversation that was sparked after Keeshia’s own diagnosis. The name Cloud is inspired by the experiences of many late-diagnosed women who describe finally feeling like a “cloud was lifted” after learning more about the different ways that their brains work and how they ‘fit’ into society. With all of the content about ADHD on social media explaining what the condition is, I’ve been on quite a journey figuring out the difference between what I thought were personality flaws and what is actually symptomatic of this condition. I realised that there was a bit of a gap of what to do next. What was I meant to do with all of this information? Cloud was created to fill that gap. It explores the intersection of ADHD with identity, relationships, career, and well-being so that we can live more fulfilling and more present lives.Each episode will offer insight into a different aspect of ADHD from guests like Mark Manson, the author of ‘The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, psychiatrist Dr Kieran Kennedy, focus and attention expert Johann Hari and relationship experts Sabrina Zohar and Logan Ury. Today’s conversation is about emotional dysregulation, shame, masking, impulsivity, self criticism and success. We chat: Why I was so hesitant to speak publicly about ADHD The ‘oversaturation’ of ADHD content on social media How ADHD presents differently in girls and women Wondering if I'd have known earlier, would life have been easier? How I've changed since diagnosis How Britt & Laura feel I've changed Rejection sensitive dysphoria, emotional dysregulation, shame, impulsivity and time blindness. Am I a chameleon or am I masking?

Send us a textWith 2024 coming to an end... let's look back at one of the hottest, most polarizing health wellness stories of the year.Ozempic and similar medications are reshaping the world, akin to the invention of the smartphone. Initially, I wasn't invested in this “magic” weight-loss wave—until I read Magic Pill by Johann Hari. I had to bring Johann on the show!Johann, an Ozempic success story, reversed his obesity within a year. What he's uncovered about the science and real-world effects of this drug is nothing short of shocking.Let's address something crucial: Body Positivity. While everyone should love themselves, “health at any size” isn't scientifically supported. Obesity is harmful—even deadly.Enter Ozempic, which delivers two transformative benefits:Dramatically reducing and reversing obesity.MASSIVELY improving obesity-related health conditions.The ripple effects of these changes touch everything—from public health to unexpected industries like knee replacements, jet fuel, and even jewelry.So, how does it work? It's a shot that introduces GLP-1, a hormone signaling fullness, making it easier to stop overeating. Some studies suggest it even curbs addictive behaviors, reducing reliance on drugs, alcohol, and more.The idea of a future where obesity and addiction are drastically reduced is tantalizing—but there are risks. Johann shares insights into issues like malnutrition from dosing errors and the psychological challenges of losing food as a coping mechanism.This is just the beginning. Go back and check out episode 56, where we dove deeper into the risks, ideal candidates, and strategies to tackle obesity at its root. What's Inside:What is ozempic and how does it work?Is ozempic (and similar medications) going to change the world?The impact of reversing obesity on public health and the economy.The astonishing benefits and disturbing risks of Ozempic.Ozempic and other GLP-1s went from something I was reading about in the news to a drug several people I know personally are using and finding success in. This magic medicine has taken the world by storm and will have a dramatic impact on the years to come. What surprised you most about this new scientific breakthrough?

After watching the Channel 4 documentary Swiped: The School That Banned Smartphones and noticing the profound impact of using a dumbphone, I'm revisiting one of my most powerful conversations—my interview with Johann Hari, author of Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention. Johann reveals the deeper reasons so many of us struggle with focus and attention, explaining why this isn't a personal failing but the result of broader societal forces. From our relationship with digital devices to surveillance capitalism and the loss of childhood freedom, Johann's insights are eye-opening and essential for anyone seeking to reclaim their focus. I've also created a FREE online course to help you beat burnout and find flow, drawing on research and techniques that have profoundly impacted my own life. Available for a limited time - link below.

The cost of constant distractions and how to get your focus back. In this episode, we explore the huge cognitive cost of constantly checking your phone and how it impacts your ability to focus and perform at your best. My guest is Johann Hari, author of Stolen Focus, who sheds light on the “switch cost effect” – the mental toll of constantly switching between tasks. Johann explains how multitasking lowers your IQ in the short term, even more so than smoking weed, and offers simple steps to rediscover the joy of focus. One of these steps is pre-commitment, a strategy that involves binding your future self to stay on task. We also discuss how focus is the gateway to achieving flow, the state in which we feel and perform at our peak. In a world that's increasingly demanding our attention, it's more important than ever to find ways to reset, refocus, and get back into flow. To help with this, I've created a free mini-course to help you beat burnout and improve your focus. In just a few minutes a day, I share proven techniques to help you reset and find that much-needed flow. This course is available for a limited time, and I would love for you to join me and let me know what you think.

'How to Reconnect in a Disconnected World?' we ask ourselves in this new timeless episode.   Our guest is Johann Hari, the author of the New York Times bestseller: Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention, executive producer and Tedtalk speaker. His books have been translated into 40 languages, and been praised by a broad range of people including Noam Chomsky and Naomi Klein.   ​I ​don't ​think ​it's ​a ​coincidence ​that ​grief ​and ​depression ​have ​the ​same ​symptoms. I ​think ​what ​depression ​is, ​in ​part ​is ​grief ​for ​your ​own ​needs ​not ​being ​met. - Johann Hari   Hari invites us to reconsider what it truly means to find ourselves, not as isolated beings, but as interconnected individuals whose happiness and healing emerge from shared experiences and mutual support.   This week's timeless is from our archives, part of a beautiful and powerful conversation we had in episode 47 – Johann Hari on Depression, Addiction and Connection entitled Lost Connections: Finding Others Instead of Ourselves. You are so welcome to go and find this episode in the archives and listen in full. We hope that this timeless offers you a new way of looking at your life and how you spend your time.      Links from this episode and more at allthatweare.org

What if everything you think you know about addiction is wrong? Johann Hari's personal journey into the heart of the war on drugs led him to ask this question and to write the book that gave rise to his viral TED talk, viewed more than 62 million times. Johann Hari is a best selling author of many books like Chasing the Scream, the War on Drugs, Lost Connections, Stolen Focus, and Magic Pill - The extraordinary benefits and disturbing risks of new weight loss drugs.”We previously released an episode with Kate DeAraugo about her personal experiences with addiction and today we wanted to look at addiction a bit more broadly and unpack how it comes about and why so many of our loved ones are battling with addiction or substance abuse issues. We spoke about: The difficult narrative of loving an addict and not knowing what to do to help The story of what causes addiction isn't accurate Why blaming it all on biology isn't helpful, nor is blaming it all on personal choices Policies based on shame and punishment make addiction worse How much control we actually have over our own willpower People with ‘addictive' personalities The money-happiness trap; the hedonic effect You can find all of Johann's books and further information at his website.

Hello listeners! No new episode this week, but we wanted to revisit this 2018 classic with Dom Price, from Atlassian. It'll help you think about whether the habits and behaviors that have helped you navigate the world to this point, are still useful today. Regular show notes below. --- In the early stages of our careers we learn how to do our jobs, manage office politics and earn promotion. But those habits and behaviours that initially help us advance can become a burden. We end up in meetings because it used to be important to show face, and not because they're an effective use of our time. In this week's GoodPractice Podcast, Ross G and Owen speak to Dom Price, Futurist at software developer Atlassian, about his approach to 'unlearning' habits and behaviours. If you'd like to share your thoughts on the show, you can find us all on LinkedIn. The Atlassian Team Playbook is available at: https://www.atlassian.com/team-playbook For a fun insight into how Atlassian team members speak to one another, see: https://www.atlassian.com/blog/inside-atlassian/teamwork-data-visualization Owen's 'What I Unlearned This Week' covered Johann Hari's Guardian piece on depression.

Johann Hari is a prolific author, deep thinker, and seasoned guest of The Imperfects. In this episode, Johann takes the guys on a deep dive into the Western food system, and how processed food has completely derailed our nutritional wisdom. Our relationship with food is a very personal one, and Johann and Josh get vulnerable about how they have used food to manage emotions. They discuss how vanity comes into play, the plethora of risks and benefits to the new weight-loss drug like Ozempic, and if their introduction of could derail any notion of self-acceptance. This episode does discuss eating disorders and suicidal ideation so tread carefully, and only listen to this episode when you're ready. Johann, it is always a pleasure. This is a big and tricky conversation, and we thank you for having it with us. To watch the full episode on YouTube, follow this link - https://youtu.be/2rcWI8zSOvE 

We initially got to know Kate DeAraugo in 2005 when she won the crown of Australian Idol! She was just 18 years old. But her post Idol journey was anything but a fairytale; it spiralled into addiction and legal troubles. In 2017, Kate was convicted of drug possession, drug driving and weapons possession.  This conversation with Kate is a deeply honest recount of what it can be like when you live with addiction. Kate has what a lot of us would describe as an addictive personality, someone who took everything to the extreme. She says that when she drank, she drank too much. When she ate, she ate too much. When she loved, she loved too much. These behaviours took Kate to some fairly dark places.  Kate shares: After winning Idol, the only thing anyone spoke about was her body Record labels saying she needed to lose weight and having full body liposuction at age 19 The narrative of addicts being from ‘broken homes' isn't realistic What led her to seeking out drugs in the first place and how that spiralled into more heavy substance abuse The toll it took on her family How families can help support an addict & what her family learnt that ‘worked' How addicts think and what happens inside their minds Addiction is a lifelong condition, but sobriety is a responsibility You can find more from Kate at her website  You can listen to Kate's podcast Why Do I Feel This Way  Laura mentioned a famous study about addiction that you can watch in Johann Hari's Ted talk here You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE! xx  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this show, we talk a lot about ways to stop the interpersonal and intrapersonal violence of obsessing about thinness. Today's episode, though, is a bit of a departure… because this whole dynamic and debate has been deeply disrupted by the advent of Ozempic and other new weight loss drugs, which are technically called GLP1s. This is a controversial and touchy subject, to say the least. Journalist and best-selling author Johann Hari discusses his latest book Magic Pill: The Extraordinary Benefits and Disturbing Risks of the New Weight-Loss Drugs. He believes drugs like Ozempic are the equivalent of the invention of the iPhone – and will impact all of our lives, whether we like it or not, and whether we take them or not. And in Magic Pill, Hari – who somewhat ambivalently takes Ozempic himself – marinates in the complexity of all of this. This is Hari's third time on the show. He has come on before to discuss his books on distraction and depression—entitled Stolen Focus and Lost Connections.This is the latest episode of our Get Fit Sanely series. This is the third time we've done Get Fit Sanely, and in this go-round, we'll be covering longevity, exercise, and the Buddhist case for laziness.
