Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism by Amanda Montell

informative

3.0

The organization of this book was a bit all over the place and it made me confused on how to tie certain connections, especially as I listened to this one audiobook. It is evident that the author did extensive research and I think she may have found a hard time finding the balance of what to include or not (leading to some disorganization). I found the section about fitness programs and rise of social media as a medium for cultish language to be really fascinating. Some other elements I didn’t fully agree with, but that’s the purpose of having information to ask questions.
