In this episode, I had the opportunity to talk with Radhia Gleis, Buddhafield cult survivor and author of the acclaimed and award-winning book The Followers on dynamics and thought processes that drive and maintain cults, including the Colonia Dignidad sect in Chile as well as the importance of protecting oneself from groupthink and cognitive dissonance in one's own life.
