The Line Between Transformation and Exploitation w/Anne Peterson

In this compelling episode, Rachel welcomes back Anne Peterson, a former leader in the Landmark education movement who has dedicated her life to understanding the complexities of personal development and its potential for exploitation. After two decades of involvement with Landmark, Ann experienced a profound reckoning that led her to question the very foundations of the organization she once believed in.

Her latest book, Is This a Cult? Confronting the Line Between Transformation and Exploitation, explores the nuances of personal growth within potentially harmful systems, offering insights into how to recognize and navigate manipulation in the pursuit of self-improvement.

Throughout this enlightening conversation, Rachel and Anne delve into the intricacies of cognitive dissonance, the moral injuries faced by former leaders, and the importance of questioning the narratives we are taught. They discuss the parallels between Landmark and Scientology, including the psychological tactics used to maintain control and the challenges of breaking free from indoctrination.
