Join bestselling author Amanda Montell as she discusses her newest book, The Age of Magical Overthinking: Notes on Modern Irrationality, during a special online chat at 2 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 23.
Her book explores all the ways in which people can indulge in “magical overthinking.” For example:
- Staving off cancer with positive vibes
- Surviving the apocalypse by learning to can your own peaches
- Transforming an unhealthy relationship into an ideal one with loyalty alone.
Montell is both sharp and funny when she explores the cognitive biases that hold court in the modern mind. She has also written Cultish and hosts the podcast Sounds Like a Cult.
