Hi Everyone -
I'm going to keep this one short. This post is an FYI and invitation to explore a few things:
1) As most of you now know, my personal misadventure in a secret mom & pop cult called School inspired GSR, Healing Arts. If you are curious about School read this article: Plaza Denizen Ran 'Secret Cult' Masquerading As Study Group: Suit A lawsuit demanding refunds and compensation for free labor has just been filed. 2) Cult-busting, ex-Nxivm members, Sarah Edmundson and Anthony Ames, have an excellent podcast! Check out A Little Bit Culty! I'll be posting more about specific episodes soon.
3) This book!
In it, author, Harvard professor, and psychologist, Martha Stout cites a chilling statistic: 1 in 25 people operate without conscience. She also tells us how to recognize and protect ourselves from the innately predatory and self serving.
I highly recommend this book if you're struggling with the fallout that comes from trusting the untrustworthy. But if you can't stomach an entire book about sociopaths, I plan to boil down and share pertinent content very soon.
That's it for today. Thanks for reading and please stay tuned!
