EP 7 - Why the nation fell under the spell of a cult leader, with Radhia Gleis of "Holy Hell‪"‬ But Why?

    • History

Is Donald Trump the Antichrist? Why do well educated people willing walk into the preying arms of "cult" leaders? Why did Hitler swoon so many, why was he so-loved. Are we a nation of frogs in a pot of warm water? Michaela and Radhia dive into the painful truths about the narcissistic and sociopath leaders of the world. In this episode they discuss the reality that they've set up a structure to think there is a tiered system, but we've been manipulated by a carefully orchestrated narrative and doctrine.
Join Radhia, as she discusses these topics with Michaela and look for her powerful new book, The Followers: “Holy Hell” and the Disciples of Narcissistic Leaders: How My Years in a Notorious Cult Parallel Today’s Cultural Mania, which articulates the complexity of how she fell under the influence of the charismatic leader of the Buddha-field cult. The Holy Hell reference in the book’s title is a nod to the 2016 Buddha-field cult documentary, in which Gleis appears.
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.
