Episode 106: Large Group Awareness Training With Guests █████, ███████, & █████

Listen Later

Large Group Awareness Training is on the rise. We live in a time when decreasing religious adherence, a growing need for order and rules in one's life and a sense of complete entitlement have combined to make the allure of LGATs nearly irresistible.

I spoke with 3 ex members of Large Group Awareness training students about their experiences. They explained:

  • Why anyone would tell a group of strangers about the worst day of their lives
  • How meditation, team building exercises and attack therapy combine to make people feel invincible
  • How these groups give students a sense of euphoria, then ask them to sign up for more courses
  • What happens as you progress through the ranks at LGATs
  • What the ultimate goal is for LGATs
  • And more...

    • Special Guests: Alan Smithee, Jane Doe, and Marty Flipman.
