What a bummer. An alternative: CULTISH by Amanda Montell is about how cults (and influencers and MLMs) use language to brainwash people!

how have I not heard of this book?! getting it ASAP

edit: I got overly excited when I saw the title and your intro. I read the rest and may delay reading this one lmao.

I recently had this EXACT same issue with another book that was marketed as an evo psych book, and it had like barely any in it. It was mainly stories and interviews

Lol yea i was excited bc cult psychology is interesting but the book as a whole was just lacking.
