The Age of Magical Rethinking: Notes on Modern Irrationality

In an age of information overload, self-reflection, and emotional burnout, when every decision—from what to order for dinner to what to like on social media—seems fateful, our thinking is more complex and confusing. Amanda Montell uses her own experience to explore with insight and humor how our modern culture of anxiety, self-help, and endless stimuli shapes our thinking, forcing us to attribute deep meaning to what often has none.

This is a witty and insightful guide to a volatile world in which we try to find our footing by creating our own “magic” in the mundane. An insightful and incredibly relevant book for anyone who wants to better understand how to live in an age of constant “too much.”
