The Culting of America

In The Culting of America, Daniella Mestyanek Young explores the subtle ways in which coercive group dynamics influence various aspects of American life, from religious and social groups to political movements and institutions. Drawing on her personal experiences, research, and cultural critique, she introduces a framework to identify the pervasive elements of cult-like behavior present in everyday groups. Blending insights with dark humor and honesty, the book challenges listeners to question their own loyalties and consider how much of their identity they may have already sacrificed to belong.
