Work Life Balance in a Cult

Did Jesus have a work-life balance problem? What are the 'work' commitments for members of cults? As a former Jehovah's Witness Stephen reflects upon the work commitments of an active Jehovah's Witness? What may be the long-lasting psychological effects of being 'always on' for ex members?

These are all subjects explored in this week's episode, plus how organizational psychologists research the subject and how that might be able to help us think about getting the balance right. And Celine points out some of Stephen's possible issues in this area.

Please Note: This podcast is soon to be renamed Cult Hackers. The feed will remain the same.
