Amanda Montell explores how cognitive biases and magical thinking influence our beliefs and behaviors. Using humor and sharp analysis, she examines biases like the Halo effect and Sunk Cost Fallacy, showing how they lead to irrational thinking. Montell encourages empathy and understanding for our anxiety-driven minds, offering hope for making sense of the chaotic human experience.
The Fresh Voices Book Group aims to read books by new voices—debut authors with fresh perspectives. Though all are welcome to join, this book group is aimed at readers in their early twenties to thirties.
Copies of the book can be found at the Library a month prior to each discussion. Please note that some titles are also available as downloadable ebooks and eaudio books.
