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.

From conspiracy theories to astrology and fad diets, she explores how we seek meaning and comfort in patterns and rituals, even when they lack a basis in reality.

“Montell’s book provides a fresh perspective on the irrational forces shaping our lives and our overthinking habits.”

But Montell doesn’t stop at mere observation. She offers tools and strategies for harnessing the power of magical thinking for good.
