In her new book “The Age of Magical Overthinking” Amanda Montell, author of “Wordslut” and “Cultish” and host of the podcast “Sounds Like a Cult,” now tackles the world of touchy-feely science and irrational thinking, like the belief that one can stave off cancer with positive vibes, or thwart the apocalypse by learning to can their own peaches.
Join Montell for "The Big Magical Cult Show," featuring a candid conversation with "Strange Things" podcast host Sasha Sagan about how we can restore sanity amid chaos, calm our anxiety-riddled souls and make sense of the senseless. Plus, there will be a drag burlesque performance from Rara Darling & Theydy Bedbug, live music from Daphne Gale, merch and books for sale from our bookstore partner Brookline Booksmith. Montell will sign books after the event.
