From a $47 billion WeWork collapse to a $460 million personal debt crisis, Adam Neumann reveals how ego destroyed his mission and how spiritual practice, his wife's unwavering support, and radical accountability transformed catastrophic failure into wisdom. Now building Flow with a16z, he explains the psychological mechanics of ambition, the true cost of chasing money, and how to measure success by the love surrounding you at life's end. Rapid financial success can blind founders to their core mission; Adam's $4.2 billion offer from SoftBank in a cab ride shifted his focus from building community to chasing valuation, triggering WeWork's eventual collapse.
