One of "the most comprehensive, erudite, and timely" explorations of power dynamics and authoritarianism in religions, institutions, relationships and even personal struggles ( San Francisco Chronicle Book Review ) Authoritarian control, which once held societies together, is now at the core of personal, social, and planetary problems, and thus a key factor in social disintegration. Authoritarianism is embedded in the way people think--hiding in culture, values, daily life, and in the very morality people try to live by. In The Guru Papers , authors Joel Kramer and Diana Alstad unmask authoritarianism in areas such as relationships, cults, 12-step groups, religion, and contemporary morality. Chapters on addiction and love show the insidious nature of authoritarian values and ideologies in the most intimate corners of life, offering new frameworks for understanding why people get addicted and why intimacy is laden with conflict. By exposing the inner authoritarian that people use to control themselves and others, the authors show why people give up their power, and how others get and maintain it.
