Story4.5 out of 5 stars 176
In September 2010, at the beginning of the academic year at Sarah Lawrence College, a sophomore named Talia Ray asked her roommates if her father could stay with them for a while. No one objected. Her father, Larry Ray, was just released from prison, having spent three years behind bars after a conviction during a bitter custody dispute.

This heart wrenching story is painted so vividly that it reads like a novel and grips you from the start. A perfectly crafted depiction of how the brightest minds can be brutally coerced under the right circumstances. Everyone should read this book!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 21
At the heart of being human is the desire to belong. It can make us unspeakably vulnerable to the manipulations of others. Cult leaders prey on this desire, but so do many unscrupulous operators hiding in plain sight. Sarah Steel, the creator of the popular 'Let's Talk About Sects' podcast, has researched the cults you've heard of—and dozens you haven't. What strikes her most are not the differences between bizarre cult behaviour and 'normal' behaviour but the depressing similarities. Her work reveals that we are all susceptible to the power of cult dynamics.

A compelling look into manipulation and coercion.

This book is a compelling look into coercion and control at any level. I love how the author delineates the concept of manipulation and presents tools and insights on how to recognize it in everyday life. If you wish to maintain personal autonomy as our world shifts, you should read this book!
