About this listen
Dr. Stephen Hassan, a world-renowned cult expert with firsthand experience of escaping the Unification Church Cult in the 1970s (often referred to as The Moonies), offers his critical insights in the landmark book “Combatting Cult Mind Control. The #1 Best-selling Guide to Protection, Rescue, and Recovery from Destructive Cults.” This essential guide explores the methods by which groups and individuals can manipulate people's minds and behaviors in a subtle and covert manner. Hassan combines his personal narrative with extensive psychological research to provide strategies for protection, intervention, and healing for those affected by destructive cults.
In this volume you will find:
● Stories of people who fell under the sway of cults and other forms of undue influence but who were able to break free
● New information on the many sophisticated ways social media are now used for mind control
● Updates on the many types of organizations that use mind control
● Information on the neuroscience behind mind control
Hassan lays out a clear, research-based path for understanding and countering manipulative influences. The book introduces the Freedom of Mind approach, Hassan's own method developed from psychological principles aimed at helping people reclaim their autonomy from manipulative influences.
Using scholarly evidence and straightforward discussion, "Combating Mind Control" provides an informative guide for recognizing, understanding, and resisting undue influence, emphasizing the power of informed, critical thinking, and personal autonomy.

A Must Read
For anyone that is in a religious organization or association with a organization I recommend reading this book. This book helped me see the undue influence that I experienced as a child and into my late 20's from the religious organization that I was a part of. I think that this book should be a mandatory read for anyone who has family or friends or an association with any organization that is religious or otherwise influencial to any degree in their lives because they might not even realize that they are being harmed by the teachings or actions of the group. This is a must read.

Raised as a Jehovah's Witness - Very Informative
This book opened my eyes to the tactics of high control and the impact of undue influence. I feel that I can identify these tactics better now and this has empowered me. I am more aware of the prevalence of cults in society and when people are most vulnerable and I am grateful for that. As a former Jehovah's Witnesses elder, I got an opportunity to see the policy letters and read the elder's handbook and I always felt that it was very legalistic in nature. I now understand that many of these policies are designed to control people and regardless of how well-meaning some are, we can't escape the fact that the Bible's commentary on human nature is accurate. "Man will dominate man to his injury."

So good!
This book is extremely informative. Super easy to listen to. I liked the audio book so much that I bought the paper copy. I have a few friends in MLM groups that might benefit from this book, so if/ when the time is right I’ll pass it along. I highly recommend this book!

Informative, de-stigmatizing, & practical
Part memoir and part how-to avoid mind control in business, religion, and extremist groups. Helps bust the myth that it’s only broken people who end up being unduly influenced. A how-to everyone should read.
