James & Becky Zheng had the Bentley, the Audi, the million-dollar home — then lost 80% of it in a single year and filed for bankruptcy. The problem was never their work ethic. It was what they'd quietly started worshipping.

They walk through how ambition and accolades became the idol — and what broke open when they stopped measuring their worth by the fruit. The month James stopped working entirely became the highest-earning month of an eight-year career, and they went on to #1 in the world out of 400,000.
