Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism
by Amanda Montell
Very interesting to see how much influence language has and can be a way to manipulate someone’s feelings or actions. I’ve definitely felt personally attacked in some cases.
I think everyone in some way or another has been a “cult victim” whether you want to feel a part of something or make a change.
From Jonestown massacre to fitness gurus this book has a wide rage of examples on how language plays a crucial role without you even noticing the lure.
I just felt like at times it felt quite repetitive but overall I think the author made a fantastic research job with this book.
