Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism by Amanda Montell

dark informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

As an English teacher, this was right up my alley. I have always wondered how people who were a part of a cult, mlm selling groups, peloton groups and others had remainder so loyal in their following. While no novel can have all the answers, this gave me some insightful insight on how the leaders we may or may not be familiar with today utilize language to get what they needed.  I love how Montell didn’t try to make this sound pretentious when it came to language as a whole. She made this relatable and easy to understand.
