In all its forms, magical thinking works in service of restoring agency amid chaos, but in The Age of Magical Overthinking, Montell argues that in the modern information age, our brain's coping mechanisms have been overloaded, and our irrationality turned up to an eleven. In a series of razor sharp, deeply funny chapters, Montell delves into a cornucopia of the cognitive biases that run rampant in our brains, from how the "Halo effect" cultivates worship (and hatred) of larger than life celebrities, to how the "Sunk Cost Fallacy" can keep us in detrimental relationships long after we've realized they're not serving us. As she illuminates these concepts with her signature brilliance and wit, Montell's prevailing message is one of hope, empathy, and ultimately forgiveness for our anxiety-addled human selves. If you have all but lost faith in our ability to reason, Montell aims to make some sense of the senseless. To crack open a window in our minds, and let a warm breeze in. To help quiet the cacophony for a while, or even hear a melody in it. 650 0 $a Adjustment (Psychology) 650 0 $a Magical thinking. 650 0 $a Delusions. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Personal Memoirs. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a PSYCHOLOGY / Cognitive Psychology & Cognition. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Popular Culture. $2 bisacsh 650 6 $a Ajustement (Psychologie) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0000183 650 6 $a Pensée magique. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0070649 655 7 $a Self-help publications. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Livres de croissance personnelle. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000312616 655 7 $a Livres audio. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000202 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20240611031503.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CDA482BC27B811EF9FBFAF4235ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
