Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism by Amanda Montell
funny
informative
reflective
fast-paced
4.0
(audiobook)
I found this book to be very interesting, I anticipated learning about the language of cults (which Montell did very well) and some of the history of past and present cults, but Montell also revealed a more empathetic lens towards cult followers. Montell also did a really good job of describing what is a "good" vs "bad" cult. I really enjoyed this book, I just wish it was a bit longer and some topics were expanded on.
