In the modern information age, our brain's coping mechanisms have been overloaded, and our irrationality turned up to eleven. Amanda Montell blends cultural criticism and personal narrative to explore our modern cognitive biases and the power, disadvantages and highlights of magical overthinking. "Magical thinking" can be broadly defined as the belief that one's internal thoughts can affect unrelated events in the external world. Whether that's "manifesting" their way out of poverty, staving off cancer with positive vibes, or transforming an unhealthy relationship to a glorious one through loyalty alone. In a series of razor sharp and introspective chapters, Montell delves into 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 they no longer serve us. Told with her signature brilliance and wit, Montell's prevailing message is one of hope and forgiveness for our anxiety riddled human self. If you have all but lost faith in our ability to reason through the noise of information overload, this book aims to make sense of the senseless. To crack open a window in our minds and let the fresh air in. To help quiet the cacophony for a while, and maybe, even hear a melody in it.

Doesn’t stain clothes and lightweight
Something that always bothers me about sunscreen is how it stains clothing. I did not have that problem with this sunscreen. It was lightweight. It only had a very mild gritty feeling after having it on for over 8 hours and sweating a ton. Best sunscreen out there right now!

The only sunscreen that does not break me out!
I have oily to normal skin with general sensitivity. The breakout-free Neutrogena sunscreens are the only ones that don't break out my face and body, even with reapplication. I have repurchased several times and highly recommend. There is only a slight white cast left over but here's my hack for no whitecast: apply a small amount to fingers and rub to warm, pat to cover face, then rub to blend in, then repeat with another layer. Perfect for underneath makeup, I usually put it on before primer.

Less White Cast
A little of this sunscreen goes a long way and when not slathered on, the white cast is minimal if at all. If I reapply every two hours—as instructed by every sunscreen label I have ever read—the white does become more visible by the third or fourth application but I combat that by mixing with a sheer moisturizer. There are times when I see white lines on my neck because of the sunscreen, so I just rub those in and they re-dissipate. Also, this sunscreen is noncomedogenic, oil-free, and as an added bonus, is rated at 2 in EWG’s sunscreen guide.
