A Book About Cults & More
I’m reading a fascinating book (thanks to my friend Vance Morris for recommending it): Cultish by Amanda Montell. On its surface, this is a book about Jonestown, the Manson family, and other infamous cults. But really, this is a book about the power of language and the psychology of belonging.
In the wrong hands, this power can lead to murder and mayhem. But this is not a handbook for sociopaths.
This is a valuable guide for ethical business people who aim to attract a following, engage prospects, and build a community of delighted clients.
