As a sober biohacker and advocate for holistic wellness, I found Johann Hari’s ‘Magic Pill’ to be a profoundly thought-provoking read that transcends the conventional approaches to weight loss and behavior change. While the book primarily addresses the challenges of obesity and the role of GLPs (glucagon-like peptides) in weight management, it also offers valuable insights into the psychological and societal factors that contribute to our relationship with food.

I think we’ve all had that guy friend that started a photography side hustle. Maybe not friend friend, but you know the type – he had enough money to invest in halfway decent gear, regularly puts out a call for models on his Instagram stories, says he’ll shoot any style but definitely prefers boudoir or nudes, and, without fail, he posts his photos and the audience cannot help but quietly laugh at the painful obviousness of the fact that he has no natural or learned talent.

I remember when I got the call from my agent in 2019 about taking over Robert Ludlum’s Jason Bourne series. My first reaction was pinch-myself, best-news-ever, fist-pumping excitement. “Oh, my God!”My next reaction, about five seconds later, was something closer to terror. “Oh. My. God.”It’s a big job – and very intimidating – to step into the shoes of a giant of the thriller genre like Ludlum.

When I began research for my book, I only knew that Vivaldi had worked in an orphanage in Venice the majority of his career, and that hundreds of orphan women and girls had received a musical education there. But soon one name started to rise to the surface – Anna Maria della Pietà. A prodigy violinist, I learned that she was Vivaldi’s favourite pupil, and that he had composed music and purchased a violin just for her.

“Destined to become a classic of modern war reporting.”-Luke Harding, author of Invasion and #1 New York Times bestseller Collusion A raw, irreverent account of a young Ukrainian reporter on-the-ground as his country heroically defends itself against the Russian invasion.
