I remember reading Cultish a couple years ago as I've always been super fascinated by cults. The stuff about Peloton and how companies like them seem to intentionally employ cultish language to promote their brands was an especially interesting thing I learned from that book--I guess I never realized how even "secular" organizations could tap into the psychology of cults like that. (Definitely makes me side-eye MLMs even more than I already do!)
