In The Age of Magical Overthinking, bestselling author Amanda Montell (Cultish, Wordslut) explores why our modern minds are so vulnerable to irrational thinking — even in a world driven by science and technology.
With her signature wit and sharp analysis, Montell examines how social media, anxiety, loneliness, and our need for control make us believe in “magic” thinking: conspiracy theories, astrology, self-diagnoses, and more. Through compelling essays, she breaks down the psychology behind why smart people can believe strange things — and how we can become more grounded in a chaotic world.
A timely, humorous, and insightful read for anyone trying to make sense of the noise.
