Bestselling author Morten Münster challenges our modern obsession with being extraordinary and reveals why embracing mediocrity is a far superior approach—whether it concerns health, efficiency, or mental wellbeing.
The Department of Magical Thinking is where wishful thinking replaces genuine effort, and buying a cookbook about kale feels the same as actually eating kale. Yet this self-deception holds us back from success both at work and at home. Join Münster on an entertaining journey out of "the department" as he explores how our relentless pursuit of optimization has left us sick, foolish, and ineffective.
Discover how being thoroughly ordinary is the key to greater mental wellbeing, healthier habits, increased productivity, better sleep, and a longer, happier life. Embracing your inner mediocrity may seem paradoxical, but it will ultimately make you genuinely extraordinary.
