Amanda Montell · 2021
A linguistic analysis of how cults and high-control groups use specific language to influence members.
Kyla Scanlon recommends it for its exploration of both historical and contemporary cults.
A speaker recommends a book written by someone else.
“It was actually called Cultish by, is it Amanda Montell? Have you heard it? I don't think so. Okay. I might've said her last name wrong, but it was good. It was talking about like, you know, cults of the past and then cults of the present…”
Why: It was good and talks about past and present cults.
