A tongue-in-cheek yet serious sideways glance at the cult craze that’s got everyone so excited. In Is There A Cult For That?, Mary Beth Chapman examines what defines a cult and why Americans are so fascinated with them, served up with humor and self-awareness (and charts!). The book also includes fun tips for starting your own cult, including how to choose your idol and how to hire the just the right charismatic cult leader, plus activities like word salad mad libs, red flag bingo, and your very own cult leader paper dolls. Perfect for cult questioners, kool-aid critics, and zealots for fun facts, the quest for the one true path just got a fresh dose of snarky good times.

Marketing Notes
- Cheeky (and somewhat serious) presentation of cults and fanaticism in America
- Researchers estimate that at least 2,500,000 Americans have joined cultic groups during the past 30-40 years
- People's attraction to cults (both the tendency to join them and the anthropological fascination with them) tends to flourish during periods of larger existential questioning.
