Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism by Amanda Montell

informative medium-paced

---

I listened to this on audio. I had a fine time overall. The analysis of language in the context of cults was an interesting way to go about it, I think, and I liked the insights provided there. There were aspects of this I cared less about than others, however. All of the stuff about work out classes wasn't interesting to me, I sort of understand why it was there, just didn't care for it. I did like the stuff about actual cults, conspiratorial thinking, the internet, language, and influence, though.
