The Age of Magical Overthinking: Notes on Modern Irrationality by Amanda Montell

4.0

I wasn't entirely sure what to expect from the description of this book, but I quite enjoyed it! Each chapter presents a different cognitive bias and how it shows up in the modern age, with funny and relevant anecdotes that help explain the concept. I enjoyed Montell's writing style and the footnotes, and feel like she's the type of person I'd like to be friends with. Not sure I had any moments that will change my long-term thinking, but a fun read nonetheless.
