Cults Inside Out: How People Get In and Can Get Out

By: Rick Alan Ross

Narrated by: Daniel Adam Day

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.
