Jimmy O. Yang is an immigrant from Hong Kong, a stand up comic, and actor and a fan of the BET network which taught him English. He moved to Los Angeles at age 13, started school without knowing a whole lot of conversational language and disappointed his parents by not becoming a scientist, doctor or investment banker.
This delightful memoir is a success story with a few stumbles but very fun to listen to. Fans of Silicon Valley will enjoy hearing the origin story of Jian Yang.
This book is funny, smart and cool in a way that hearing a nerdy guy admit he hasn't been a big a hit with the ladies can make you recognize what a good person he is. The audio version is wonderful.
