Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism by Amanda Montell

informative slow-paced

3.0

Cults cannot exist without language - this fact alone is what led me to pick up this book. Amanda Montell definitely gave some food for thought here, but it was very MEH, especially toward the end. My excitement for this topic slowly faded as the book went on and became more of a conversation about cult experiences, rather than focusing only on the actual use of language specifically. Didn't give me what I hoped for, but was still interesting.
