Magical Thinking: True Stories
We all do it—knock on wood, avoid stepping on cracks, or believe a lucky charm will change our luck. But why? In this video, we dive into Augusten Burroughs' collection of true stories, 'Magical Thinking,' to expose the irrational patterns that rule our minds. Burroughs, a bestselling author known for 'Running with Scissors,' shares raw, hilarious, and unsettling tales that reveal how magical thinking shapes our decisions, relationships, and even our sanity. You'll learn the psychology behind these biases, why we cling to them, and how recognizing them can free you from self-sabotage. No fluff, just eye-opening truths that will make you question your own habits. Watch if you're ready to see the world—and yourself—more clearly.
