You're probably in a cult. You just don't know it yet.

In The Culting of America, cult survivor, military veteran, and bestselling author of Uncultured, Daniella Mestyanek Young delivers a gripping investigation into the hidden structures of power and control that shape our lives. Raised in the notorious sex cult the Children of God, Daniella escaped to America as a teenager--only to find herself drawn into another high-control institution: the U.S. Army. Years later, as a Harvard-trained expert in organizational psychology, she began asking a radical question:

What if we're all in cults?

Blending personal narrative, cultural critique, and deep research, Young--together with award-winning author Amy Reed--introduces the cultiness spectrum: a ten-part framework for identifying how coercive group behavior shows up in spaces we trust, from extremist sects to corporate offices, political movements, social media communities, and beyond.

You'll never look at group loyalty the same way again.

From the glamorized world of Playboy to the mission-driven violence of the military, from wellness culture to partisan politics, The Culting of America reveals how cultish dynamics aren't just surviving in modern life--they're thriving. And they're often hiding in plain sight.

With sharp analysis, wit, and unflinching honesty, The Culting of America is both a warning and a guide. It's for anyone who's ever felt trapped in a group they believed in, who's started to question the cost of belonging, or who's ready to reclaim their autonomy without giving up connection.

Because the question isn't "Am I in a cult?"

It's "What cults am I already in--and what will it cost to leave?"

Nice modest sporty dress
Color: Navy Blue, Size: 11-12 Years
Nice soft dress with separate shorts. I love the color. We ordered a size 11-12 and it fits great. I wish it were a little more structured but it is very modest.

Adorable dress and fictional too
Color: Navy Blue, Size: 9-10 Years
This tennis dress is absolutely adorable and exactly what I look for in kids’ active wear. It’s modest, practical, and cute all at once! My daughter loves it, and the built-in shorts with pockets make it perfect for running, playing golf, pickleball, or just everyday summer fun. The material is soft, breathable, and moisture-wicking, so she stays comfortable even on hot days. I got size 9-10, which fits true to size. For reference, my 8-year-old is 52” and 63 lbs, and there’s still room to grow. This has quickly become a go-to outfit for summer activities because it’s stylish, functional, and kid-approved.

Stylish, comfortable, breathable, and fast drying! Perfect for active wear!
Color: Black, Size: 13-14 Years, Color: Black, Size: 13-14 Years
This tennis dress/set is perfect for my daughter. She can use it for tennis, golf, or just as an addition to her summer wardrobe. It fits true to size (though it does run a bit long), and it looks great on. The fabric is very soft and stretchy (a polyester and spandex blend). It’s also very breathable and quick drying, and I love that it’s machine washable. I also like that the shorts are not sewn in (instead it’s a two piece outfit). The shorts also have pockets large enough to fit tennis balls on both hips. The neckline is high and modest, and the skirt is loose and flowy. The dress and shorts are well made and durable too. Because it’s so lightweight, it’s great to wear even in hot and humid weather. The pullover design makes it easy to put on and take off. This dress is a great addition to any active girl’s wardrobe, and it’s a great value too. And it’s available in sizes from 7/8 to 13/14 and several different colors too!

Shorts are separate
Color: Pink, Size: 11-12 Years
This athletic dress is really cute and good quality. It fits true to size. I actually sized up because sometimes athletic dresses run more form fitting, but this one isn’t tight at all. The shorts are separate (I originally thought they were built in), and they do have a pocket, which is a nice bonus. The price is fair for what you get. There’s plenty of room for my daughter to grow into it and hopefully wear it for a few years. Overall, it’s comfortable and a great find.
