The New York Times bestselling author of The Age of Magical Overthinking and Wordslut analyzes the social science of cult influence: how “cultish” groups, from Jonestown and Scientologists to SoulCycle and social media gurus, use language as the ultimate form of power.
What makes “cults” so intriguing and frightening? What makes them powerful? The reason why so many of us binge Manson documentaries by the dozen and fall down rabbit holes researching suburban moms gone QAnon is because we’re looking for a satisfying explanation for what causes people to join—and more importantly, stay in—extreme groups. We secretly want to know: could it happen to me? Amanda Montell’s argument is that, on some level, it already has . . .
Our culture tends to provide pretty flimsy answers to questions of cult influence, mostly having to do with vague talk of “brainwashing.” But the true answer has nothing to do with freaky mind-control wizardry or Kool-Aid. In Cultish, Montell argues that the key to manufacturing intense ideology, community, and us/them attitudes all comes down to language. In both positive ways and shadowy ones, cultish language is something we hear—and are influenced by—every single day.
Through juicy storytelling and cutting original research, Montell exposes the verbal elements that make a wide spectrum of communities “cultish,” revealing how they affect followers of groups as notorious as Heaven’s Gate, but also how they pervade our modern start-ups, Peloton leaderboards, and Instagram feeds. Incisive and darkly funny, this enrapturing take on the curious social science of power and belief will make you hear the fanatical language of “cultish” everywhere.
Break the Cycles That Hurt Your Relationships and Hold You Back
Through biblical examples and illustrations from their own redemptive
story, Justin and Trisha Davis help readers identify unhealthy
relational patterns that keep them from experiencing the joy and
freedom God has for them.
Relationships can feel like a constant struggle. How can we recognize
and overcome behaviors that leave us wounded, broken, and exhausted?
One Choice Away from Change helps us identify dysfunctional life

fall into the same bad habits at work, or argue about the same things
with those we love. Drawing on their own story of healing, Justin and
Trisha Davis offer practical encouragement for:
• Understanding the choices we make that can sabotage us
• Not letting the past dictate the present
• Leaving behind our go-to sins and dysfunctions
• Moving forward in the hope of who God calls us to be
You aren’t as stuck as you think you are. In fact, you are just one
decision away from breaking the cycles that keep you living in fear and
shame. Experience the power of God’s grace … one choice at a time.

Don't Believe Everything You Think is not about rewiring your brain, rewriting your past, or positive thinking. We cannot solve our problems with the same level of consciousness that created them. Tactics are temporary. An expansion of consciousness is permanent.
This book was written to help you go beyond your thinking and discover the truth of what you already intuitively know deep inside your soul.
The intricacy of modern life has created a false dichotomy between
things that are 'hard and important,' and those that are 'easy and
trivial.' Everything has become so much harder than it ought to be.
But, Greg McKeown, bestselling author of Essentialism, says, there is a
third alternative.
In Effortless, he offers practical tools for making the most essential
activities the easiest ones, so you can achieve the results you want,
without burning out. Honed over the better part of a decade, these
strategies include:
·Turning tedious tasks into enjoyable rituals
·Preventing frustration by solving problems before they arise
·Setting a sustainable pace instead of powering through
·Making one-time choices that eliminate many future decisions
·Making relationships easier to maintain and manage
·And much more
McKeown's philosophy of essentialism has helped thousands to recognise
that the effortless way isn't the lazy way. It's the smart way. Not
every hard thing in life can be made easy but we can make it easier to
do more of what matters most. Effortless will show you how.
No one sets out to be a bad boss. But some bosses out there really do
give it all they’ve got. One in four of us feel like we are currently
working for our worst boss ever. That not only has a huge impact on our
enjoyment of the job, but our productivity also plummets, which surely
is no good for anyone!
The problem is, when you are stuck with a job or boss you don’t like,
you are given the same two pieces of advice; either suck it up or go
off and find a new job, which costs you time and a whole lot of
headspace, and costs businesses too!
My Boss is a Moron is all about the third way.
Serial entrepreneur and content creator Ben Askins shows you how to
handle a terrible boss, make the best of a bad situation and still come
out on top.
Taking you through the entire lifecycle of work from job descriptions
and interviews, to pay rises, promotions, annual leave and so much
more, My Boss is a Moron pulls back the curtain on why companies and
bosses make the choices they make, and what you can do to give yourself
the best possible chance of success.
With outrageous real boss stories and Askins’ beloved sarcasm and
humour, My Boss is a Moron is as entertaining as it is helpful and is
designed to help you sidestep silly company policies and terrible
management to ensure that you thrive at work, no matter the
circumstances.

Former Microsoft Executive and Fortune 500 CEO coach, Sabina Nawaz, delivers a practical guide for managers, at a time when managing is harder than ever.
This book explains why top performers inevitably turn into terrible managers when their behaviour, compounded by the power and pressure that come from climbing the corporate ladder, engenders toxic work cultures and saps everyone else's enthusiasm around them. The very traits that they believe have gotten them to top, may that be loose personal boundaries, perfectionism or a bullish communication style, when at the altitude of leadership, self-sabotage their efforts and that of their team.
Top Executive coach and former adviser to Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer, Sabina Nawaz, does not advocate for a leadership personality transplant, or a lengthy journey in self-development. Instead, she introduces simple strategies that you can implement today that rail-guard against the common pitfalls of management. By managing pressure and collapsing distance, Sabina ensures top performers effectively manage others, navigate relationships and communicate effectively in every context.
Our lives are driven by a fact that most of us can't name and don't
understand. It defines who our friends and lovers are, which careers we
choose, and whether we blush when we're embarrassed.
That fact is whether we're an introvert or an extrovert.
The most fundamental dimension of personality, at least a third of us
are introverts, and yet shyness, sensitivity and seriousness are often
seen as a negative. Some of the world's most talented people are
introverts - without them we wouldn't have the Apple computer, the
theory of relativity and Van Gogh's sunflowers. In Quiet, Susan Cain
shows how society misunderstands and undervalues introverts while
giving them the tools to better understand themselves and take full
advantage of their strengths.
Passionately argued, superbly researched, and filled with real stories,
whether an introvert or extrovert, this book will change how you see
human beings for good.

infinite potential for your life. Your challenge is to release your
fears and surrender fully to Spirit, trusting that no matter what, you
are where you’re meant to be. It’s in these as-yet-undiscovered places
within us that we come to recognize our authentic selves, what we can
be, and what we can co-create with Spirit.
We need a different kind of map―not one that tells us where we’ve been,
but one we fill in as each new experience changes us into who we need
to be to live our destiny. In this book, you’ll learn to draw your own
Map of the soul as “spiritual cartographer” Colette Baron-Reid guides
you through the five interconnected realms of co-creation and
self-evolution.
You’ll connect to your intuition in the Realm of Spirit and meet your
ego in the Realm of Mind. In the Realm of Light, you’ll experience
transformation as you illuminate the darkness, reclaim lost parts of
yourself, and reprogram your subconscious. Then you can consciously
direct the forces influencing you in the Realm of Energy, before seeing
the results of your self-evolution manifested in the material world in
the Realm of Form.
At every step, you learn to harness your personal power, break patterns
of suffering, and make friends with uncertainty as you venture into the
uncharted . . . where magic happens.
A research-backed framework to help you accomplish your most ambitious
goals by honing and harnessing your most powerful yet underutilised
resource: intuition.
What sets the most successful people apart? While hard work is
certainly a factor, Professor Laura Huang's extensive research –
spanning entrepreneurs, investors, Olympic athletes and Pulitzer Prize
winners – reveals that their greatest asset is something less tangible:
intuition. That instinctive ‘gut feeling’ often determines who seizes
opportunities and who misses them.
In You Already Know, Laura breaks down the science behind intuition,
explaining how it is formed from external data, accumulated wisdom and
the subconscious insights we don’t even realise we have. What follows
is a gut feeling, which shifts our perspective and drives us to act.
Grounded in Huang’s pioneering research and enriched with insights from
hundreds of illuminating interviews, this book offers a practical model
for becoming better at recognising, understanding and enhancing your
intuition to accomplish your most ambitious goals. What’s stopping you
from unlocking your full potential? You already know.

your ancestry and embrace the gifts of the present.
How we treat our inner child reflects on every aspect of our lives. It
is the foundation of our habits and of our self-worth. When we deny,
reject, or criticize our own innocence and vulnerability, we hinder our
capacity for authenticity and connection. We are desperate for a
semblance of control because we felt powerless as a child, and we
attempt to protect ourselves by directing arrows of judgment,
criticism, and negativity towards ourselves and others.
Political hatred, discrimination, and crime can all be traced to
childhood wounding. These harmful behaviors, along with depression,
anxiety, and self-doubt, are the inner child's desperate call for help.
Our younger selves are still trying to get their needs met, and it is
now
our responsibility to meet these needs. Nobody else can. Until we meet
our own needs, we blame our parents, our partners, and the world. We
are stuck in a triangle of disempowerment in which only three roles are
available: victim, villain and rescuer. We cycle through all three of
these roles depending on the circumstance. In each one of these roles,
we are looking for self-worth outside ourselves and feel resentful and
powerless.
This book teaches us how to step out of this triangle and the layers of
story we have been telling ourselves, becoming our own guide on an epic
inner quest. It is an invitation to write a new story, to finally meet
our needs and take full responsibility for our lives. To do this, we
step outside of linear time and journey back to significant moments of
our childhood, bringing our adult self along, with all of our acquired
life-experience, to offer the support that was needed at the time.
