Cults have been an interest of mine. I've listened to podcasts that are geared towards true crime that have done research about the events. Very few that I've heard focused on the mentality and the loaded language and the thought terminating cliches that Amanda Montell sheds light on.
With cited sources and plenty of references that allow insight to the thoughts that celebrities, scientists, politicians, etc. subscribe to.
This book ultimately is more of a reminder that language is a powerful tool and it's within the best interest of everyone to pay closer attention to the way language is used today. Especially today.

This book has been very enlightening to read. It is so often that Western societies do not value taking the time to see things as they are. We are on our phones, worrying about a plethora of different things. This book slows that down and teaches you the very basics of how to get unstuck from that situation. It gives you the tools but you have to choose to use them.
