5.0 out of 5 stars An Absolute Must For All Who Are Affected By Cults, December 3, 1999
By Phillip Tomas (Tokyo, Japan) - See all my reviews
This was one of the first books I read after 9 years in a cult, too bad I read it more than a year and a half after I quit (I wish I would`ve found this earlier, right after I left the group I was in). I recommend this to all ex-members of cults, as well as anyone interested in or affected by them; and ESPECIALLY anyone in any group (religious or otherwise) who questions the nature of your group, and has thoughts of leaving. This book is informative, affirmative, and great support for ex-members and their families when you feel like no one else understands what you`ve been through.

5.0 out of 5 stars This booked helped me to leave Alcoholics Anonymous, May 8, 2000
By A Customer
This is a wonderful book with plenty of information to help the person leaving a high-control group or cult. The stages of recovery are discussed so the exiting member knows what kind of "head trips" to expect during the mental detox of cult involvement. I highly recommend it.

This book is full of vital information about cults and cult mind control. A must-read for cult survivors. One of the best books on the topic available for the general public.
