Cults are something other people join, right? Think again; you might be in one. Daniella Mestyanek Young is a cult survivor, U.S. Army veteran and Harvard-trained organizational psychologist and she joins host Krys Boyd to discuss recognizing the language of cults, the us-versus-them rhetoric and lauding of charismatic leaders, to be better able to reduce their power, and why she feels every organization falls within a “spectrum of cultiness.” Her book is “The Culting of America: What Makes a Cult and Why We Love Them.”
