Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism
by Amanda Montell
informative
reflective
medium-paced
Minor: Ableism, Body shaming, Bullying, Emotional abuse, Fatphobia, Self harm, Suicide, Murder, Cultural appropriation, Gaslighting
As this book details the harm that cults and cult-adjacent groups have on their members, it covers a lot of sensitive topics. A section is devoted to suicide cults including Jonestown and Heavens Gate. The bullying, abuse, body shaming, etc. comes from quotations of cult leaders and wellness/fitness leaders (e.g. soulcycle).
