About this audiobook
Cults persist today in various forms such as religious sects, fitness programs, and supplement companies. Originating in the 1950s, cults have left a lasting impact, maintaining their influence through deceptive practices. Debates surrounding cults often center on whether members join through brainwashing or free will. This book explores both perspectives, encouraging readers to critically analyze these arguments and determine their stance. The author holds a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration or an Associate's Degree in Management Technology.
