ストーリー
It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments - the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams - that contributed to the person I am today. This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival, and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side.

Tara Westover was 17 the first time she set foot in a classroom. Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, she prepared for the end of the world by stockpiling home-canned peaches. In the summer she stewed herbs for her mother, a midwife and healer, and in the winter she salvaged in her father's junkyard. Her father forbade hospitals, so Tara never saw a doctor or nurse. Gashes and concussions, even burns from explosions, were all treated at home with herbalism. Then, lacking any formal education, Tara began to educate herself. Her quest for knowledge transformed her.

Americans precede anything negative with three nice comments; French, Dutch, Israelis, and Germans get straight to the point; Latin Americans and Asians are steeped in hierarchy; Scandinavians think the best boss is just one of the crowd. It's no surprise that when they try and talk to each other, chaos breaks out. In The Culture Map, INSEAD professor Erin Meyer is your guide through this subtle, sometimes treacherous terrain in which people from starkly different backgrounds are expected to work harmoniously together.

Factfulness: The stress-reducing habit of carrying only opinions for which you have strong supporting facts. When asked simple questions about global trends - why the world's population is increasing; how many young women go to school; how many of us live in poverty - we systematically get the answers wrong. So wrong that a chimpanzee choosing answers at random will consistently outguess journalists, Nobel laureates, and investment bankers.

For all that's been written about the Four over the last two decades, no one has captured their power and staggering success as insightfully as Scott Galloway. Instead of buying the myths these companies broadcast, Galloway asks fundamental questions.

批評家のレビュー
"Hilarious! Reading this book is like sitting at lunch with your funniest friend whose stories make you laugh until milk comes shooting out your nose. Jimmy O. Yang will teach you how to American like a pro!" (Kevin Kwan, international best-selling author of Crazy Rich Asians)
"Hilarious, heartfelt, and inspiring, How to American captures the Asian-American experience. A must-read for everyone." (Ken Jeong, comedian; actor, The Hangover)
"It's difficult to imagine how excruciatingly uncomfortable it must be for many immigrants to our unforgiving and provocative culture. Absent the nuances of language and behavior we take for granted, Jimmy O. Yang hilariously chronicles his very personal experience from mute, frightened youth to cultural virtuoso and successful performer." (Dr. Drew Pinsky, media personality, author, board-certified physician)
あらすじ・解説
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 10 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.

The mindset of Jimmy O. Yang is truly refreshing
Would you listen to How to American again? Why?
i would absolutely listen to this book again. i was thoroughly entertained and mesmerized by Jimmy's positive mindset. His thirst for learning is refreshing and much-needed today.
What other book might you compare How to American to and why?
I would compare this to the amazing The Last Black Unicorn by Tiffany Haddish as it tells the funny stories of how a positive attitude and desire to see the good in others can get you through some hard times.

Hilarious But Also Full Of Interesting Stories
4.5 out of 5 stars
I didn't realize just how much I was going to enjoy this book until I was in tears from laughing on my way into work. I listen to audiobooks in my car and this was absolutely hilarious. So funny (especially the chapter about working with T.J. Miller) that I think people thought I was crazy in my car.
Jimmy O. Yang - better known as Jian Yang on the hit tv-show Silicon Valley came to America as a young child. He spent his early childhood learning how to speak English watching BET. And became a stand-up, not for not-so-normal reasons. How To American tells these stories and many others about the life of Jimmy O. Yang so far.
I knew Jian Yang -- aka Jimmy from Silicon Valley. When I saw that he wrote a book I was on board. I did not know he was a standup comedian (I love all things standup related). I also didn't know pretty much anything about him before reading this. I'm really glad I took the 6 hours to read this one. Jimmy is a hilarious and thoughtful writer - who would make me laugh one second talking about how his dad would insult him and in the next moment would make me think deeply about the people around me.
That's the thing about this book and Jimmy in general - they are full of surprises. Silicon Valley fans will be happy that there are about 3 chapters around the show along with one really funny one about his interaction with T.J. Miller - "I eat the fish". But How To American has so much more in it. I loved the stories about his early "rap" career along with the stories related to being a strip club DJ.
How To American was so much more than I expected and I'm thrilled. Jimmy is a fascinating guy and I can't wait to see where his career takes him.

Underdog Story
This was a great story and I appreciate Mr. O. Yang's determination and hard work but I was a little put- off and disappointed that the American dream is nothing more than strip clubs, partying, and bikini clad women. The underlying theme of the book is that the American dream means different things to different people but ultimately the opportunities to follow one's dreams is quintessentially American. An entertaining book.

An amazing and beautiful piece
This is probably one of the best audio books I have eget had the pleasure to hear. Jimmy is first off a great author, but his skills as a world class actor and commedian really shine through. It might look like a comedy on the outside, it really isn't. It's a heartfelt story about the life of an immigrant, struggling to come to terms with who and what he is. I greatly recommend this book!

Best Audible/Best Narration thus far...
Of all the Audible books i’ve listened to so far, this one had to be the best. Jimmy Yang did the best narration telling of his upbringings of his developing character and mindset through the influential impacts throughout his life. He had me laughing many times. There’s only one thing that I just felt pulling at one of strings, that there was a lack of appreciation for the hardships that his father had gone through just to get his two sons over here for a better opportunity in higher education and a better future, but of course, it’s HIS narrative. I wish Jimmy could see and understand why Asian parents are so difficult and hard on us and only wish for us to have a stable job rather then to see us struggle the way they had to before. In their eyes it probably felt like it defeated the purpose of them working so hard, but I get it, Jimmy, YOU WENT AGAINST the odds and made your parents proud. Overall, this was a GREAT narrative.

From one immigrant to another: Thank you!
As an immigrant to multiple countries, and the child of an immigrant (although not Chinese or in any way Asian), the big-picture life lessons and understandings really resonated with me. Jimmy eloquently captured the feeling of being an inside-outsider. Or maybe it's an outside-insider. When the Chris Rock-style voice comes on, prepare for a story from the heart of Crazytown (not for everyone). But when Jimmy uses his conversational voice you get the inspiration, the deeper insights, and the real Jimmy who does a lot of crazy sh*t, but seems to have learned from it (just like we all do). It was a fast listen and only embarrassing when you find yourself laughing while walking down the street - maybe it's better to listen at home. :-)

An unexpected journey.
Funny, unconventional and inspirational. This book is a unique look at the story and journey of one individual through life in an attempt to follow his dream to become a comedian and actor in America. Jimmy bares his story in a transparent honesty that introduces you to him, the various individuals he meets on his journey and ultimately his struggles in a way that leaves you laughing out loud, feeling inspired to follow your passion no matter the risks involved, and understanding the ultimate struggle of an immigrant trying to find their place in a new culture. You'll come to love Jimmy, his family, his friends and in the end will come to know a person who you only knew as Jian Yang from silicon valley.
