This book is really incredible and Rinder is very brave for putting his story out there. I have always enjoyed listening to Rinder on the Aftermath and on numerous podcasts including his and Reminis which is fantastic. I find Rinder to be equally knowledgeable, interesting and empathetic and that comes across very well in this book. Rinder takes us through his introduction to Scientology to his escape. The amount of detail in this book in regard to Scientology is amazing, but his personal experiences and the experiences of others that he describes are truly heartbreaking. I’m happy that Rinder is now happy and loving an authentic life, but also that he continues to fight and educate people against the cult of Scientology despite the high risk is truly admirable. This is a must read, I highly recommend!

I knew of Mike via his work with Leah and knowing his personal journey…whoa. I’m proud of him for pursuing his truth and living authentically…and I don’t even know him.

An interesting read, especially to learn more about the cult. I felt at points it dragged on a bit - but definitely still a book I’d recommend for anyone interested in diving deeper into this world’s inane practices.

Good if you're binging Scientology books, not the most captivating cult book though. For a more engaging account from someone in the inner circle, I liked Beyond Belief.

This was an impulse pick up from my library. I had watched the show that Mr. Rinder did with Leah Remini a few years ago so this caught my eye. This is an interesting book. It fills in a few things that weren't covered on the show. There are still a lot of things I don't understand about Scientology, but I don't think I ever will.
