The Age of Magical Overthinking: Notes on Modern Irrationality by Amanda Montell
2.0
I didn’t enjoy this. I really liked Cultish, and I feel like Montell is billed as a journalist and researcher. But this book just read like she took her own journal about random things and added a research study or two per chapter. There was a lot of “my opinion is” and then just… stuff that is widely believed. I didn’t even feel like there was a throughline between the chapters. Also, for the audiobook, she does the narrator-is-smiling-and-laughing sound that I cannot take.
