Why It's Your Next Read

  • Charismatic con artist or visionary genius?
  • Boardroom backstabbing rivals any NFL owner
  • Cult-like devotion fueling billion-dollar delusions
  • Investigative journalism exposes financial manipulation

If Ken Belson's autopsy of the NFL's empire showed you how Sundays became a billion-dollar religion built on greed and ruthless ambition, then The Cult of We delivers the boardroom sermon you didn't know you needed. Brown and Farrell peel back the glossy veneer of WeWork's millennial hustle mythology with the same investigative precision that exposed the league's concussion cover-ups and backroom dealings. This is charismatic leadership unmasked—a founder who turned community into commodity, risk into ritual, and investors into believers, all while playing capitalism's most dangerous game.

You admired the NFL's unapologetic empire-building; now watch another one burn.

Here's the WeWork saga as American conquest: bold, deceptive, exhilarating, and ultimately catastrophic. It's the same cutthroat drama you loved in Every Day Is Sunday, just swap the gridiron for glass offices and venture capital.

You admired the NFL's unapologetic empire-building; now watch another one burn.
