Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism by Amanda Montell
challenging
informative
fast-paced
5.0
Cultish is a non-fiction book that discusses the language of fanaticism and when it veers into dangerous territory. This was very insightful and informative.
I appreciate that the author’s tone is thoughtful. She doesn’t demean or insult people who have been taken in by cults. She only explains how it happens.
I also really liked how she discussed fanaticism for workout programs, multi-level marketing, and more versus the traditional religious cult. There was a lot of nuance provided.
All in all, a great book to help you analyze your thinking and understanding toxic group think.
