Why You Could Be Vulnerable To A Cult | Ashley Easter | TEDxDanville

Your autonomy, ability to have free thought, and personal differences are your most precious assets. Cults come with the intent to steal those so they can control you and bend you towards their agenda. So, before you join a new group or go back to your old ones, ask yourself this: Am I free to be me here, or am I only allowed to be like them? This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
