具体描述
Standup comic, actor and fan favorite from HBO's Silicon Valley and the film Crazy Rich Asians shares his memoir of growing up as a Chinese immigrant in California and making it in Hollywood.
"I turned down a job in finance to pursue a career in stand-up comedy. My dad thought I was crazy. But I figured it was better to disappoint my parents for a few years than to disappoint myself for the rest of my life. I had to disappoint them in order to pursue what I loved. That was the only way to have my Chinese turnip cake and eat an American apple pie too."
Jimmy O. Yang is a standup comedian, film and TV actor and fan favorite as the character Jian Yang from the popular HBO series Silicon Valley. In How to American, he shares his story of growing up as a Chinese immigrant who pursued a Hollywood career against the wishes of his parents: Yang arrived in Los Angeles from Hong Kong at age 13, learned English by watching BET RapCity for three hours a day, and worked as a strip club DJ while pursuing his comedy career. He chronicles a near deportation episode during a college trip Tijuana to finally becoming a proud US citizen ten years later. Featuring those and many other hilarious stories, while sharing some hard-earned lessons, How to American mocks stereotypes while offering tongue in cheek advice on pursuing the American dreams of fame, fortune, and strippers.

读后感
This is the very first audible book I've ever listened to and it absolutely blew my mind with how easy and natural the narration is for me to immerse into. I didn't know Jimmy O.Yang at all before this book and had never seen the hit tv show silicon valley ...
评分 评分Ricepanda 成都 上一期推送介绍一本书和一部美剧，名字都是Fresh off the Boat。主要讲的是在美国出生的华裔Edddie Huang的成长故事。 推荐一本书，一节目，一美剧 今天来给大家推荐另外一本书，书中主要讲的是从香港移民到美国的华人Jimmy O. Yang的奋斗故事。 作为单口喜剧的...
评分我成长在中国，因为准备去美国留学，所以想通过这本书了解下美国的文化。对于Jimmy所受的歧视，理解的同时，我本人并没有太大的共鸣。你选择成为美国人，也就选择了这份责任。 反而，我却特别同情Jimmy的爸爸。尽管Jimmy现在在Hollywood小有名气了，但我知道，身为父亲的他，还...
评分或许是无数美国梦故事里面一个并没不太特别的故事，但是作为少数中国移民的故事还是有一些代表性的。感受最深的是他作为一个移民试图融入一个陌生国家的心路历程。为了不被别人视为一个 Asian boy，为了看起来更「美国化」，反而刻意做了一些奇怪的 事情。「群体认同感」真得是...
用户评价
快餐娱乐。perspective>文笔。不愧是跟黑人文化学的英语。有些类比和用词思路清奇十分绝妙。遗憾之处是结构不是特别好、句子个别重复、蜜汁黑人小学水平英语…甚至怀疑是否编辑故意。在吹diversity和freedom的美国，主流媒体少见他这种出身和视角的非虚构叙事，本身就讽刺到可以笑出声。一本本可以充斥PC空喊的书，但他身为comedian，使了大部分劲on being genuinely funny，而不是on some PC bullshit。鼓掌。才hbo常驻就敢出自传，换个privileged white dude绝对被骂得投奔忍者神龟，也是天时地利人和才有这么一本。经历、性格、看问题角度，和喜剧写作，he definitely has sth to offer。
评分蛮有意思的推荐一边听，时不时的看看Pdf。能感觉他对美帝文化的认同，所以也算是新移民写给美帝的一封情书吧。
评分听audio，第一分钟我就笑喷了 “ A lot of you guys are wondering oh my god it’s Jian Yang from Silicon Valley but he talks like a normal person, of course I do It’s called ACTING you people!”
评分需要这类内容来改善心情——目的达成。听他自己录的Audio版，像是听了超长版的standup comedy show,很愉快。
评分典型（需要从零开始融入美国社会）又非典型（Comedian, Actor, Strip club DJ）的第一代移民，非常有意思的经历。公司的亚洲文化月把他请来了，也刚好推广他这本书，观众问有关Asian representation的时候他其实很反感，不断说Just let me do my joke, leave these questions to the sociologist，理解他不想总是代表亚洲人的辛苦，所以在书最后他强调他的Asian heritage还让我觉得有些错愕。我如果以后还想再练练public speaking的话，想也去试试open mic。
