Welcome to The Good Book Club podcast where we make all our bookclub meetings available for viewers and listeners to enjoy. Our book this month was “Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism”by linguist Amanda Montell

Through juicy storytelling and cutting original research, Montell exposes the verbal elements that make a wide spectrum of communities “cultish,” revealing how they affect followers of groups as notorious as Heaven’s Gate, but also how they pervade our modern start-ups, Peloton leaderboards, and Instagram feeds.

Incisive and darkly funny, this enrapturing take on the curious social science of power and belief will make you hear the fanatical language of “cultish” everywhere.

We found this book fascinating and we know you will too. This The Good Book Club Meeting was originally held on March 9th, 2025

Welcome to The Good Book Club Podcast, where we make all our book club meetings available for viewers and listeners to enjoy. In this book club meeting we discussed the book, "The Art of Living a Meaningless Existence: Ideas from Philosophy That Change the Way You Think" by Robert Pantano. In this book, the author attempts to provide the value of motivation and personal development through unwavering philosophical honesty. Studying and pulling from ideas in Stoicism, Existentialism, Nihilism, Absurdism, Buddhism, Taoism, and more, he combines his own thoughts with concepts from philosophy to create accessible, thought-provoking, and beautiful takeaways that will change the way you think about yourself, existence, and how to appreciate the absurdity of it all. This The Good Book Club meeting was originally held on Sunday, February 9th, 2025.
