Description
"From SoulCycle to Scientology, we're all obsessed with cults. Linguist Amanda Montell examines the language cults use to draw us in"-- In which the author argues that the key to manufacturing intense ideology, community, and an "us/them" attitude all comes down to language. She explains the linguistic elements that make a wide spectrum of communities cultish, revealing not only how cult language affects followers, but also how it pervades modern start-ups, fitness brands, and Instagram feeds. Incisive and darkly funny, this book exposes the curious social science of the power of belief, and will make you recognize fanatical language everywhere.
