From One Cult To The Next

From One Cult to the Next by Dan Owens-Reid explores self-discovery, self-acceptance, and unraveling the true meanings of faith, community, and the impact of our desire for intimacy. This poignant memoir is a must-read for anyone seeking a thought-provoking, uplifting, and deeply human exploration of resilience and self-realization amidst the chaos of searching for human connection and prosperity. Through the lens of his own queer joys, anxieties, and professional endeavors, FOCTTN reveals Owens-Reid's own journey to uncover the parallels between cult-like religions, parent-child dynamics, personal relationships, and the demanding worlds of work and entertainment. With humor and candid reflection, Owens-Reid shares reflections from navigating the confines of Christianity to the seductive allure of celebrity and capitalism, offering insights that resonate deeply with neurodivergent individuals and all who yearn to reclaim agency in their lives. Faith isn't reserved for God(s), intimacy isn't reserved for romance, and there's power in more than just success and authority over others. Through a blend of wit, heartache, and compelling narrative, Owens-Reid challenges readers to question societal norms, prioritize self-discovery, and rediscover hopefulness amidst adversity.
