Don’t miss my music either! Listen to Spiders on Drugs and follow the journey of the indie rock band Rickard & Juvelerna.

CULTS, RADICALIZATION, AND VIOLENT EXTREMISM

Since 2005, I have worked in various ways to support individuals leaving fundamentalist movements and to counter violent extremism. My latest book, Radicalization, is the result of over 30 years of experience and accumulated knowledge about extremism and sectarianism.

MY MUSIC

Had I not taken a detour in my twenties through a religious sect, I would likely have pursued music full time. Recently, I’ve started playing guitar again and now create music under the name Spiders on Drugs, while also playing in the indie pop band Rickard & Juvelerna.

RADICALIZATION

A thorough exploration of the ideologies, language, and leadership of cults. The book describes the radicalization process: how people are recruited, shaped, and live their lives within cults and cult-like organizations.
