Radhia Gleis unwittingly helped create a monster. The author stops by the podcast to share her riveting true story, The Followers, which chronicles the 25 years she spent in the Buddha-field cult, feeding the beast — their narcissistic leader — with sycophant adoration. Gleis weaves together her personal experiences with reflections on a number of thought-provoking topics, including the search for a higher truth, cults, groupthink and mind control, authoritarian leaders, malignant narcissistic personality disorder and sociopathy, the American schism, and how an intelligent, well-educated person may find herself under the control of a narcissistic sociopath. Think you would never join a cult? We take a look at American cult-ure and you might rethink your position.
