Summary

You’ve seen them in movies and on TV, but cults are more prevalent than you think - and they’re armed with strategies that can brainwash and persuade even the most unlikely of candidates.

But how do individuals get involved with cults in the first place, and what steps can be taken to “deprogram” and heal those who have been drawn into these damaging groups?

These questions and more are addressed in Cults Inside Out, written by leading cult expert Rick Alan Ross. Over the course of three decades, Ross has participated in around 500 cult interventions, provided expert court testimony, and performed cult-related work all around the world.

With the help of current and former cult members, Ross demonstrates many of the tactics the groups use for control and manipulation - and, more importantly, some of the most effective methods he and other experts have used to reverse that programming.

As a result, listeners will find themselves armed with a greater understanding of the nature of destructive cults and an improved ability to assess and deal with similar situations - either in their own lives or the lives of friends and family members.

Quite simply boring

First a straightforward listing up of known cults everyone interested in cults is already completely familiar with; then a long and repetitive recipe for interventions.

Possibly helpful if you literally need to perform an intervention on someone in real life, I couldn’t comment on that, but certainly if your interest is academic you will be left wanting for analysis, illumination and a deeper psychological examination of why people join, and how they get out.

This is impersonal and banal, and constantly quotes other works, leading one to wonder if one should have simply bought one of those books instead. Lacking in substance, lacking in interest, and a pretty monotonous narrator as well.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
