My Take
Steven Hassan fascinates me because he writes about cults from the inside out. He was reportedly in a high-control group himself in the 1970s, and rather than bury that, he built a career out of it. What I respect most is the pivot he describes: from coercive deprogramming early on to non-coercive exit counseling later. That shift, choosing persuasion over force when you have every reason to be angry, says a lot about the man. Four books and a public role as a mind-control expert suggest someone who turned personal wreckage into a usable framework. The CultExpert handle is on-brand to the point of being almost funny.
