  The inside story of the creation of Ozempic and its revolutionary impact on public health.A “cure” for obesity has long been the holy grail for the pharmaceutical industry, one that seemed unattainable until recent breakthroughs in type 2 diabetes research led to the development of Ozempic, a weight loss medication that activates a hormone in the stomach called GLP-1, making people feel fuller for longer. The treatment is so effective that it is already disrupting many industries—from healthcare to fast food to fashion—and it has quickly made its creator, Denmark’s Novo Nordisk, the most valuable company in Europe. But the impact of GLP-1s goes far beyond billion-dollar profits; a true long-term cure for obesity could save 40 percent of American adults from dangerous, preventable illnesses. And as more potential benefits emerge, one question looms in the minds of investors, healthcare workers, and politicians: Are these drugs too good to be true?In Off the Scales, Reuters journalist Aimee Donnellan illuminates the history of a medical breakthrough that is poised to change the world, while raising difficult social questions about inequality and morality. Through original reporting and rigorous research, she forecasts the future of GLP-1s and examines what their explosive popularity tells us about our ideals of beauty and the lengths to which people will go in order to become thin.Along the way, Donnellan profiles the scientist whose contributions to the discovery of GLP-1 were overlooked, documents her fight for recognition while her colleagues were thrust into the limelight, and offers new insights into the ways that the food and beauty industries made billions while promoting unhealthy and unrealistic body image standards and accelerating the obesity crisis. She also provides firsthand accounts of several early Ozempic users and the transformative effect the drug has had on their weight loss journeys.Off the Scales is an informative and entertaining study of the unexpected consequences of finally getting what we’ve wanted for so long.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press

  In this refreshingly honest book, Dr. Ken teaches us to take personal inventory of what's working and not working in our lives, decide what we can do to upgrade our interior operating systems, and take action.  
  	As we get older, life-affirming decisions about our personal lives, relationships, and whether we're leaving a legacy of war or peace, compassion or hatred, love or chaos come into focus. Are we paying forward the best or worst in ourselves to our kids, grandkids, and future generations? How We Go On was conceived to give readers the hope, inspiration, tools, and opportunities to say a resounding "Yes!" to this question. It affords you with the opportunity to become a more compassionate, courageous, caring, and grateful version of yourself.  
  	How We Go On is a book about living courageously. By summoning newfound courage, we turn life's changes, challenges, setbacks, and losses into opportunities, and become the stronger, better, more resilient version of ourselves. A life well lived is one in which we have learned, grown, ripened, healed, taken social responsibility, made peace with life's real terms, paid the good in our lives forward, and left a legacy of love. The path forward at every turn, in every season, and at every crossroads, including death, is realized through self-compassion, courage, and gratitude. How We Go On represents a distillation of Dr. Ken's life work.

  When Time Means Nothing

  Way more than just a true story, a time when truth became my leveller and my strength, the planer of honesty and sand-blaster of reality... 
  Self-Development requires much more than telling your story. It goes far beyond putting it out there and getting things off your chest. It is infinitely more as it requires a deeper level of honesty than I was used to and it travels deeper within the self than I had ever imagined. 
  For me it was the one place and space I needed to go to and yet, it was a place so intrusively intimate and so emotionally destabilising at times that I more often than not, wanted to run from. Still, I never for one second thought that it would be as difficult as it proved to be. 
  Truth became my leveller and my strength, both the planer of honesty and the sand blaster of reality in exposing the deepest, darkest, and most painful secrets of my past. Experiences that had shaped and determined just how I had seen, analysed, and reacted to the different events throughout my life. 
  A story so dissimilar yet so the same in many ways to the person who might just perhaps, be standing right next to me, a roller coaster of emotions as I dared to journey into the inner sanctum of my personal being in search of the real me. From the earliest beginnings to the present and everything in between when I finally discovered for myself, that the courage I needed to begin my journey of self-discovery and self-development, was right there within me. I just had to be brave enough to reach for it.
