About this episode

Wish you could better regulate your mental health amongst the noise of our fast-paced world?

In a special live episode recorded at the Melbourne Convention Centre as part of an Australian A Life Of Greatness tour, Sarah Grynberg is joined by bestselling author and journalist Johann Hari, one of today’s leading voices on mental health and focus.

Known for his sharp insights and compassionate approach, Johann delves into the hidden reasons behind rising rates of anxiety, depression, and ADHD diagnoses. Together, Johann and Sarah explore why these issues are so prevalent and examine the critical need to address their root causes rather than relying on fleeting solutions. This powerful conversation also covers the cultural phenomenon of the weight-loss drug Ozempic, weighing its potential benefits and hidden risks, and discussing what its popularity reveals about our society’s pursuit of instant fixes for complex challenges. 

Let this episode inspire you as Johann offers practical insights so you can reclaim your focus, rebuild meaningful connections, and live with purpose and resilience.
