How do smart, skeptical people get pulled into cults and near-cults? What is the line between true spiritual growth and harmful groupthink? The answer is more complex than we think, and could contain some uncomfortable truths.  

Authors Sarah Flocken and Blair Glaser will discuss their recent books that both touch on how easy it is to believe in something unquestioningly when your life is in transition. Flocken's debut novel BE WELL and Glaser's memoir THIS INCREDIBLE LONGING both focus on young women searching in high-control groups for the answer to one question: where do I belong?
