How would you know if you were in a cult?

If not a cult, then at least under undue influence?

The truth is: we're all under some form of undue influence. The
question is: to what degree and to what extent we’re aware
of this influence — which is exacerbated by social media. In an
era of likes, followers, and echo chambers, how can we become
aware of undue influence and gain sovereignty over our minds?

Our guest this week is Dr. Steven Hassan, an expert on undue
influence, brainwashing, and unethical hypnosis. He’s the founder
of the Freedom of Mind Resource Center — a coaching, consulting,
and training organization dedicated to helping people freely
consider how they want to live their lives. Dr. Hassan was
himself a member of a cult: the Unification Church (also known as
the Moonies), which was developed in Korea in the 1950's. Since
leaving the Moonies, Dr. Hassan has helped thousands of
individuals and families recover from undue influence.
