Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism by Amanda Montell

4.0

I listened to this as an audiobook and I found that it's a great one to listen to. It's quite an accessible non fiction which explores some of the notorious cults, some I've heard of and some not. And for that reason, it was an eye opener, not because I need someone to tell me the dangers of cults but more because I wasn't aware about some of the notorious ones out there. I appreciate the research the author has done.

Listening to this made me even more aware of words being used in Social Media nowadays and also getting me to go into the rabbit hole of looking up cult histories lol.

That said, I don't think the language is heavily explored but still a great listen and a great place to start if you're just getting into non-fiction.
