Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism by Amanda Montell

informative medium-paced

4.5

Before reading this my only knowledge of cults was 19 Kids and Counting + general common knowledge facts; Cultish has opened my eyes to an interesting history and current state of Cults in western culture. I especially appreciated the author’s tie of cultish language to MLM and “cult” fitness. Cultish is a great, easy non fiction read for anyone even vaguely interested in cults or the use of language for power/ persuasion.
