The Age of Magical Overthinking
The Age of Magical Overthinking by Amanda Montell uncovers the cognitive biases that shape our perceptions and behaviors in today's information-filled world. Through a blend of cultural criticism and personal narrative, Montell examines phenomena like the "halo effect," which influences our admiration for celebrities, and the "sunk cost fallacy," which can trap us in unfulfilling situations. Her engaging writing style offers readers a chance to reflect on their own thought patterns and the irrationalities that cloud modern life. Montell provides tools to process information and make decisions in the digital age, encouraging a more mindful approach to our daily interactions.

This weekend, we’re focusing on one of our favorite eateries from our Food Fight spotlight – Dos Hermanos. With multiple locations and five food trucks located throughout central Ohio, Dos Hermanos has become a staple around the city. Dos Hermanos brings authentic Oaxacan-style Mexican cuisine to Ohio, and for new visitors, owner Lisa Gutierrez recommends the Birria Tacos, a dish of three soft corn tortilla tacos filled with slow-cooked barbacoa and blended cheese. Check out more about Dos Hermanos and tacos around Columbus in our Food Fight spotlight.
