Don't Call it a Cult

The Shocking Story of Keith Raniere and the Women of NXIVM

By: Sarah Berman

Narrated by: Ewa Wolniczek

As seen in Season Two of the HBO docuseries THE VOW

They draw you in with the promise of empowerment, self-discovery, women helping women. The more secretive those connections are, the more exclusive you feel. Little did you know, you just joined a cult.

Sex trafficking. Self-help coaching. Forced labor. Mentorship. Multi-level marketing. Gaslighting. Investigative journalist Sarah Berman explores the shocking practices of NXIVM, a cult run by Keith Raniere and many enablers. Through the accounts of central NXIVM figures, Berman uncovers how dozens of women seeking creative coaching and networking opportunities instead were blackmailed, literally branded, near-starved, and enslaved. Don't Call It a Cult is a riveting account of NXIVM's rise to power, its ability to evade prosecution for decades, and the investigation that finally revealed its dark secrets to the world.

Truly interesting and well written

If you’ve seen The Vow this contains so much more information that was going on behind the scenes. I highly recommend it.

While we are patiently waiting for Season 2 of The Vow..

This book gives more detailed information about KR trial and others caught in the NXIVM web of deception.

Very informative

I really enjoyed this book and listened intently daily. This book has more detail information than the Netflix documentary so if you are interested in crime this book is very detailed.

Very in Depth

I have been obsessed with the NXIVM story this audio book is the most thorough.

Really great

The narrator is wonderful. There is so much great content and it is arranged very thoughtfully !
