Clued-in With A Book (Elvina Ulrich)'s Reviews > Cults: Inside the World's Most Notorious Groups and Understanding the People Who Joined Them
Cults: Inside the World's Most Notorious Groups and Understanding the People Who Joined Them
by
by
Based on the popular podcast Cults, Parcast founder, Max Cutler shares biographies of ten notorious cults in this book.
These cults are categorized according to the types of manipulation they used (e.g: exploitation, shame, sadism, etc) and why do people joined these cults - the psychology behind it.
I loved how the information was presented. It was easy to read and understand, and the depth of information for each cult, was just perfect - not too little, not too much.
Although I am familiar with some of the more popular cults (e.g: Charles Manson, Jim Jones, Roch Theriault and the Ant Hill Kids) in this book, I still find myself learning something new about them. I find Raelism was the most bizarre cult I've learned so far.
Heads up, though, some of the contents do contain graphic details especially on Narcosatanists and Roch Theriault's cults.
Overall, this is a must read book for all true crime fans especially if cults is a topic that fascinates you.
