This month the HYP Book Club is reading ‘The Age of Magical Overthinking: Notes on Modern Irrationality’ by Amanda Montell, a delicious blend of cultural criticism and personal narrative that explores our cognitive biases and the power, disadvantages, and highlights of magical thinking.

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.

Come join us for what will undoubtedly be a mind-altering conversation
