Description: "Sports facilities, laundry services, cappuccino bars. A ready-made set of companions. A purpose in life. Sometimes work is such a great place to be, you don't even want to leave - not in the evening, not on weekends, and especially not on vacations!" "These perks are consciously designed to induce you to devote more and more of your time, talent, and emotional allegiance to the corporation - at the expense of your private life, your family, and your community.".

"And rest assured, says Arnott, corporate cultism is not an isolated phenomenon or a farfetched concept. Consider the top three factors that Fortune magazine calls the hallmarks of a great place to work: sense of purpose, inspiring leadership, and knockout facilities. Now read the uncannily similar characteristics that define a cult: devotion, charismatic leadership, and separation from community.".

"Corporate Cults gives you a clear picture of this deeply rooted, pernicious problem. It exposes the cycle of manipulation and dependency that is making unhealthy, "cultish" behavior a commonplace way of life for millions of people."--BOOK JACKET.
