The Age of Magical Overthinking by Amanda Montell

Decoding Our Obsession with Irrationality in a Chaotic World.

In her witty and insightful exploration of the human mind, Amanda Montell dives into the curious phenomenon of “magical overthinking” in The Age of Magical Overthinking: Notes on Modern Irrationality. Montell argues that while magical thinking, the belief that our thoughts can influence the world, is a natural human tendency, the constant barrage of information and uncertainty of the modern age has pushed this tendency into overdrive. We obsess over past conversations, play out worst-case scenarios, and chase fleeting trends in a desperate attempt to control the uncontrollable.
