In this eye-opening book, journalist Jane Borden argues that Puritan doomsday belief never went away; it went secular and became American culture. From our fascination with cowboys and superheroes to our allegiance to influencers and self-help, susceptibility to advertising, and undying devotion to the self-made man, Americans remain particularly vulnerable to a specific brand of cult-like thinking. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith in-depth research and compelling insight, Borden uncovers the American history you didn't learn in school, including how we are still being brainwashed, making us a nation of easy marks for con artists and strong men. Along the way, she also revisits some of the most fascinating cults in this country--including, the Mankind United and Love Has Won--presenting them as integral parts of our national psyche rather than aberrations.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Atria\/One Signal Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Cults Like Us | Jane Borden | Paperback | 9781668007822 | New | American History 1733541","offer_id":48168990310552,"sku":"1733541","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71IoX7C-K9L.jpg?v=1771983519","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/cults-like-us","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
