Johann Eduard Hari (born 21 January 1979) is a Scottish writer and journalist whose books include 2022's ''Stolen Focus'', about technology and modern lifestyles' impact on attention spans and mental health, and 2015's ''Chasing the Scream'', about addiction and the war on drugs. Both were ''New York Times'' bestsellers, and Hari’s 2015 TED Talk based on ''Chasing the Scream'' was one of the most-watched of the year. Up until 2011, Hari wrote for ''The Independent'', among other outlets, before resigning after admitting to plagiarism and fabrications dating back to 2001.

Hari’s other books include ''Magic Pill'', about semaglutide medications used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity, and ''Lost Connections'', about depression, anxiety, and related mental health conditions. He is also listed as a producer and writer on the 2021 film ''The United States vs. Billie Holiday'', which was nominated for an Academy Award, two Golden Globes, and other awards.
