The Age of Magical Overthinking | Amanda Montell & Cara Santa Maria

What’s at stake when our ability to reason is complomised? What happens when the information we receive from our hyper-connected world short-circuits the psychological tools that once served us? Why do we engage in magical thinking and how can we preserve our ability to objectively process information?
Author Amanda Montell (The Age of Magical Overthinking) joins science communicator, psychologist, and podcaster Cara Santa Maria to delve into the cornucopia of cognitive biases that run rampant in our brains to make sense of the senseless.
