About the author
Johann Hari is a British-Swiss author whose reported books combine personal experience, interviews, and broad arguments about social conditions affecting behaviour and health.
Chasing the Scream addressed drug policy, Lost Connections addressed depression and anxiety, and Stolen Focus examines individual and structural causes of diminished attention. His journalism has also been the subject of documented controversies over attribution and accuracy, relevant context when evaluating his work.
