About this book

Amanda Montell examines the language that draws people into tightly organized groups and helps maintain their allegiance. The account opens with an interview about Kundalini yoga, tracing a participant's attraction to its community, rituals and specialized vocabulary. This study of persuasion and belonging considers how words can shape identity and influence the way members understand their place within a group.

Montell read linguistics, and Cultish puts that training on a question usually handed to psychologists: not why people join extreme groups, but what the language does to them once they are inside.
