Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism by Amanda Montell

challenging dark informative reflective medium-paced

4.5

My only need is that sometimes the sections within the parts seemed to end on a random note rather than tying things up nicely. Other than that, the context was fascinating and I loved that the author brought in her own experiences on top of the academia of it all. Really recommend this. It also felt like she wasn't talking or looking down on people who joined cults, but rather putting the owness on American culture and cult leaders which was refreshing.
