Publisher's Summary
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.

essential reading
I wish I read this year's ago. I left the JW's 30 years ago, but still carried so much trauma from my 14 years raised in the organisation.

Essential reading
i’m so grateful to Steve Hassan’s work here. I first read this book 20 years ago when I left the jehovah’s witnesses and it was instrumental then in helping me to understand what had happened to me in that cult. But upon this second reading I found myself thinking more broadly about ways in which we are manipulated and influenced in coercive ways in our lives. This is essential reading if you want ‘freedom of mind’ and to comprehend how to navigate the complexities of being a member of society with free will intact.

This should be compulsory reading.
Now that I've listened to the audio book I will buy the paper version to go back and re-read some sections.
