Amanda Montell is the author of Wordslut: A Feminist Guide to Taking Back the English Language, and her latest book, The Age of Magical Overthinking: Notes on Modern Irrationality. In this episode, Amanda breaks down cognitive biases that impact us all in the modern information age, from the halo effect driving our obsession with celebrities (hi, Taylor Swift), to the sunk cost fallacy that may make us stay in a relationship that we know is not good for us ("a toxic relationship is a cult of one"). Amanda shares what she learned about these psychology principles to offer groundbreaking advice that will improve your mental health, relationships, joy, and self-esteem.

In today's episode, Laura shares how to cut through the toxic messaging and marketing ploys to build a routine that works best for your mind, body, and lifestyle. Laura also busts myths why the word "toned" is a marketing scheme or why weight-lifting won't make you bulky.
