I kept zoning out and needing to bring myself back in due to the descriptive sections. Typically this is something I love in books but just doesn't work for me via audio. As it is a rather short story, I think I might buy a copy & try again.
The Age of Magical Overthinking: Notes on Modern Irrationality by Amanda Montell
2.5
It's hard to have thorough opinions of the chronically online when you, yourself, are chronically online.
I thought I would be getting an insightful look into humanity and cognitive biases but instead received a book full of half-baked ruminations. They would have been better as podcast discussion topics.
I will mention that it is ironic she spends an entire essay discussing holistic therapists/practitioners and the ways in which they trick the public to worship their branding, while simultaneously, doing the same thing in a different field.
I'd like to see more from the author once she has really nailed down the art of thorough investigation.
