In a disarmingly candid conversation, Reed Hastings reflects on 35 years of marriage — and what almost derailed it. A marriage counselor in the mid-1990s forced him to confront an uncomfortable truth: he preached that family was the most important thing in his life, but every time a work crisis arose at 6 PM, he stayed. No question. The counselor made him see that he was, as he puts it, a 'systematic liar.' He shares the two practical rules that helped him survive a demanding career while keeping his marriage intact — and explains why 'surprising candor' became one of the most valuable lessons of his life.
