The Program: Inside the Mind of Keith Raniere and the Rise and Fall of Nxivm, Natalie Toni, Hardin Chet

Enter Toni Natalie, Keiths Patient Zero, the first one indoctrinated into Ranieres methodology and the first one to escape. THE PROGRAM begins with the origin story of NXIVM, follows its rise to international prominence, and takes the reader into the downfall of Raniere through Tonis eyes. During this time she bore witness to the evolution of his methodology, including his use of sex, blackmail, and employment of psychological tools such as neuro-linguistic programming to control and punish those who would not heed his wishes. She uniquely details the fortunes lost and the lives left in disarray that she witnessed contemporaneously, including members of DOS, a group of women coerced into sexual acts under the guise of a womens empowerment inner circle, whom Raniere exercised extreme control over directly and through his lieutenants.
