Johann Hari Biography

Johann Hari is the author of three New York Times best-selling books, and the Executive Producer of an Oscar-nominated movie and an eight-part TV series starring Samuel L. Jackson. His books have been translated into 40 languages and have been praised by a broad range of people, from Oprah to Noam Chomsky, from Elton John to Naomi Klein. His latest book, “Stolen Focus: Why You Can’t Pay Attention,” was published in January 2022. It was named as one of the three best books of the year by Amazon, and it was named as a Book of the Year by the Financial Times, the New York Post, and the Spectator. It was also chosen as ‘Book of the Month’ by Britain’s biggest bookseller, Waterstones, and Australia’s biggest bookseller Dymocks. It won several awards, including being named as ‘Most Important Book of the Year’ at the Non-Essential Book Awards and ‘Best Book of the Year’ at the Porchlight Book Awards. It has been a best-seller on three continents.

Johann’s first book, “Chasing the Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs,” was adapted into the Oscar-nominated film “The United States Vs Billie Holiday.” It has also been adapted into a documentary series.

His second book, “Lost Connections: Uncovering The Real Causes of Depression – and the Unexpected Solutions,” was described by the British Journal of General Practice as “one of the most important texts of recent years”, and shortlisted for an award by the British Medical Association. Johann’s TED talks have been viewed more than 93 million times. The first is named “Everything You Think You Know About Addiction is Wrong.” The second is entitled “This Could Be Why You Are Depressed or Anxious.”

He has written over the past decade for some of the world’s leading newspapers and magazines, including the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Guardian, the Spectator, Le Monde Diplomatique, the Sydney Morning Herald, and Politico. He has appeared on NPR’s All Thing Considered, HBO’s Realtime with Bill Maher, The Joe Rogan Podcast, the BBC’s Question Time, and many other popular shows.

Johann was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and when he was a year old, his family moved to London, where he grew up and where he has lived for most of his life. His father – a Swiss immigrant – was a bus driver, and his mother was a nurse and later worked in shelters for survivors of domestic violence.

He studied Social and Political Science at King’s College, Cambridge, and graduated with a Double First. Johann was twice named ‘National Newspaper Journalist of the Year’ by Amnesty International. He has also been named ‘Cultural Commentator of the Year’ and ‘Environmental Commentator of the Year’ at the Comment Awards. He lives half the year in London and spends the other half of the year traveling to research his books.
