Goop & Cults Have More In Common Than You Might Think...

[@Rhonda_girl_11]

I agree with everything you've said here except I don't think Gwyneth Paltrow is a good person. I think whether she's peddling this bs on completely on purpose or somewhat unknowingly she's still responsible. Goop is her creation and for her to even endorse the ridiculous claims of depression stickers or the outrageous prices of most all of these products and retreats imo makes her either ignorant and harmful. She knows the cult like following of Goop so for me I'd never be able to talk with her without calling her out for allowing so much to so many people. Thanks for sharing this eye opening information. Much appreciated.

[@Justanopinionnooffense]

Exactly! Why shouldn't we criticize Gwyneth?! Why is Cassandra adding oh I am sure she is a good person blah, blah. Because she is beautiful? A talented actress? Hell nah! If she is doing wrong she should be called out for it! There is no need to tip toe around it!

@@Justanopinionnooffense similar to insisting that Alec Baldwin "couldn't have fired the gun on purpose." Why not?! The man has assaulted how many people?! He's innocent because he's rich and famous?! No, that's not how we should think, about him, Gwyneth or any other celebrity! And I agree, I can't imagine Gwyneth doesn't honestly know she's making bank on this garbage and that it's not true, even though she once said along the lines of "nothing in nature can be harmful." If she earnestly believes all this, then she's incredibly stupid and then she's equally wrong for pushing this.

I would highly recommend that people do more research about Jonestown. Most of those people who followed Jim Jones were poor (many of them black) and were forced to move to Jonestown and "drink the koolaid." Jim Jones had an armed militia behind him and would have people killed if they tried to leave. I think about a third of the victims iirc were children who couldn't consent and many of the rest were forced to drink the po*son (or were injected with it) at gunpoint. Jonestown itself was an armed compound that was very hard to escape. It really makes me feel bad for the victims when people act as though it was just a bunch of crazy people who k*lled themselves. Even many of the survivors take issues with the phrase "drinking the koolaid." Not trying to be mean or anything, just want to spread awareness about a tragedy that is very misunderstood.

I feel like addressing the fact that the victims of the Jonestown massacre did not, as a whole, commit mass suicide, very few were true zealots ready to die for an abusive leader that had defectors beaten through the history of his commune, and the majority were forced to drink the cyanide/tranquilizer at gunpoint, including nearly three-hundred children. That's clearly one of the most extreme and tragic examples of a cult, but that's what's so despicable about false promises: Desperation makes people extremely vulnerable, and whether a vulnerable person was manipulated into giving all their worldly possessions to a cult, or fooled into buying a placebo for a fortune, it always ends with the hurting people's increased suffering for another's greed.

As an expert in the fields of economics and marketing let me assure you that Cassandra has perfectly broken down the similarities between marketing tactics and cults. You don´t have to have a Master in economics and marketing to be able to analyse the similarities. All you need is a brain, a sufficient amount of intelligence, the ability to research and comprehend plus the ability of putting all the peaces together = joinded-up thinking. A great example of a cult brand created by excellent marketing is Apple. Apple is not only a brand. Apple is a cult with a huge following and a cult leader who will never be forgotten: Steve Jobs. He also was the marketing genius behind the scenes who created the cult brand. Apart from the technological aspects of Apple products there are three main factors which contributed to Apple´s success: 1) A fantastic product design 2) An "Us against Them " marketing strategy which tells Apple buyers that they are inferior to the buyers of other brands 3) A charismatic (cult) brand leader. Although Jobs isn´t present anymore Apple´s success is still based on the brand reputation the charismatic Steve Jobs created: Jobs managed to turn Apple customers into legions of fanatical brand evangelists which now do most of the Marketing work for Apple by recruiting new cult followers through word-of-mouth recommendation. I personally cannot stand Apple and its fanatical brainwashed followers but Steve Jobs was a Sales and Marketing genius!

That’s not quite true. She’s won an Oscar (while Shakespeare in Love may not have deserved Best Picture that year, she did a good job as lead actress), she’s been in multiple very well received movies like Sliding Doors, Se7en, Contagion, Emma, Great Expectations, The Royal Tenenbaums, and many, many more. She’s had a very long and very successful career as an actress, she’s been acting for about 30 years now. And sure, there’s definitely a bit of nepotism there, there’s a lot of that in Hollywood (her mother is Blythe Danner, a well respected actress, and her father Bruce Paltrow is a director). Still, she’s had a long and pretty distinguished career, and the Marvel movies are the least of it. Nah, she’s an awful person, and Goop is dangerous pseudoscience, but to say she has one known movie, or that she isn’t respected as an actress, it isn’t true at all.

I was a Jehovah’s Witness and since my husband and I left we are shunned by our families and former friends. Our lives ticked the boxes of cult control. When I talk to others who grew up in more “mainstream religions” there are a lot of those same elements of control. Just because a religious group has a large size and cultural acceptance does not make it any less dangerous. If you were raised Catholic or Muslim you could have very well had a worse experience than me even though my experience would be more readily accepted as cult indoctrination. High control group is probably a better way to describe cults because cults love to use strict definitions of cults to their advantage and say “See? We’re not a cult because x,y,z.” All the while getting a tighter grip on you. JWs did this all the time. The BITE Model is a good place to start if you want to examine your particular group.

CBT is neither new-age nor "non-Western medicine," so she's marketing it as something it's not specifically intended for which makes it seem like freshly unearthed knowledge.

In other cases, I think it is important for able-bodied people to remember there are people in this world suffering with chronic health condition everyday- and they are super vulnerable to things like this. When you suffer everyday, its only natural to get desperate at times for a way out- and scam artist are notorious for taking advantage of vulnerable people.

Thanks a lot for this video and your insight. And you are so respectful. I myself don't like Goop and Gwyneth Paltrow as the 'Guru'. She makes money 💸 of people who think they can be just like her. And so many others do the same. In a way it's capitalism mixed with cult and mind control. My humble opinion xxx

[@truesanatani2892]

Why do they use "chakra"... It's a totally different thing..

[@almutimkerbell88]

Amazing video. I do disagree in one point, though. When you use your image to sell lies and hopes for hundreds of dollars, you are a bad person.

[@user-em5yh4eb5i]

I love you Cassandra very informative topics and videos thanks for enlightening us about this 😘

Could you do a review on the Lumispa - the #1 cleansing device in the world

I am not a proponent of pseudoscience and it really bothers me. But I do want to say that sexological bodywork is something I have personally done to heal sexual trauma. The sexological bodyworkers featured in the show were amazing.

Just because you found benefits in something, doesn’t make it legitimate. That is the literal purpose of Cassandra’s video. You found it therapeutic because your brain was convinced it was. It is dangerous, which is why it is illegal in 49 states. You drank Gwyneth’s kool-aid.

Great video Cassandra

Those stickers is just like the ones in Modern Family. Wonder what came first.

[@jeffdiggs7030]

I’m not saying Gwyneth Paltrow is a bad person but if enough people sue the company Goop then I think the company will take a downfall and it’s not like she doesn’t have an amazing acting career in herself but just leave the skin care and the Cult pseudoscience alone.

[@satiyaumar3493]

Good video. Makes a lot of sense. Interesting.

Is there any point at which the public/customer should also be held accountable? People just blindly falling and paying for everything they see without doing any research of their own? Considering that these days information is on our fingerptips, we cannot just make our own stupid VOLUNTARY decisions and then blame the business for taking advantage of us.

"Nobody literally goes, 'I want to join a cult!'" Please look up Swell Entertainment. She actually says in one of her videos she would join a cult for content. That said, I also love her content.
