This was also a very validating book for me. I've become more and more convinced that the group I was involved in is a destructive cult as I read this. Not a totalistic one, and not as destructive on the outskirts, but the deeper into it you get the worse it seems to get. I'm grateful that I'm out. I hope to gain the courage to speak out against the group more publicly someday, as this book did inspire me to try at some point, but they've sued and shut down mere bloggers so we shall see. The most important thing is that people learn about how this sort of mind control manipulation works so they can protect themselves against it in whatever form presents itself. It blows my mind that we educate our kids about safe driving, sex (hopefully), and drug use and never think to teach them about defending themselves against manipulation. I definitely recommend this book for pretty much everyone, because NONE of us are immune to these techniques, as I've learned personally.
Moderate: Emotional abuse
Minor: Domestic abuse, Misogyny, Racism, Sexual assault, Toxic relationship, Islamophobia, and Trafficking
While it mentions these various triggers, it does so in a way that is not graphic and unequivocally condemns these injustices.
