Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism
by Amanda Montell
informative
reflective
medium-paced
Cultish is a wonderful book about the language used in cults.
The word "cult" does not have a specific definition. Anything can be a cult from Starbucks to Heaven's Gate. Since reading, I have seen cultish language everywhere from Trader Joe's to my workplace.
The downside of this novel? I want so much more! Luckily, the author has a podcast, Sounds like a Cult.
