I can’t recommend this book enough. I’m one who likes to choose my words very carefully and I put a lot of stock in what people say.
Amanda Montell does a fantastic job getting down to the language that is used by cult or cultish leaders. She delves into everything from MLMs, exercise programs, Jim Jones, MAGA, and more.
If you’ve found yourself wondering why some of the smartest people you know managed to get swept up in ANY kind of group that seems a little sinister, Montell helps shed some light.
I really just thought this book was fascinating. I’m an audiobook listener and I like to listen while I do mundane tasks and I pretty much got my whole garden in order listening to this book.
Highly recommend!
