About this listen

Andrew Tate has built a cult following online by establishing himself as a self-help guru. In this episode, we explore the history of self-help as a genre and an industry. We examine how Tate has established and maintained what could be described as a self-help cult by tapping into the aspirations and anxieties of young men in the twenty-first century.
