Is it just us, or does American culture have narcissism fever? Between 2004 and 2016, the volume of Google searches for the word “narcissist” grew exponentially. Thanks to factors like the rise of therapyspeak, TikTok mental health diagnoses, and badly behaving reality stars-turned-world leaders, discourse about this buzzy, yet poorly understood phenomenon has exploded. Are we as a society becoming more narcissistic? Or are we now over-using and misusing this term to the point of meaninglessness? Wait, is obsessing about other people's narcissism its own kind of narcissism?? In an effort to soothe these thought spirals, host Amanda (@amanda_montell) settled in for an illuminating chat with her debut guest, psychologist Dr. Ramani Durvasula (@doctorramani), author of the New York Times bestseller "It's Not You" and one of the world's foremost narcissism experts. Tune in for a relatable, brain-tingling, and clarifying discussion about this confounding topic, complete with questions submitted by the "Magical Overthinkers Club" and bits of wisdom to help us overthinkers get out of our own heads.

This is sounds like a cult, a show about the modern day cults we all follow.
I'm your host, Amanda Montel, author of the brand new book the Age of Magical notes on modern irrationality.
Typically, every week on the show, you're going to hear about a different cult like group from the zeitgeist, from k pop to chiropractors, which is discussed in a lighthearted, culturally critical tone.
To try and answer the big question, this group sounds like a cult.
But is it really?
Hello my culties.
We are still on a little mid season break from normal.
Sounds like a cult episodes.
Don't worry, we're gonna be back with a good one next week.
Very excited about it.
