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.

Amazing how fast it works
Item Package Quantity: 1
This works so much better than the prescription cream I got from the doctor. I thought 40% was the highest available. Ease of use and it goes exactly where it's needed. Saw improvements after the second day of use.

Amazing cream to restore cracked skin!!
Item Package Quantity: 1
Cracking of my feet is not the problem. This has been the only cream I found that restores my cuticles!! My right thumb constantly stays dry and ugly. The convenience of applying like a ChapStick is wonderful. and allows me to grab and apply frequently. My cuticle has finally become soft and pretty. :) (Highly recommend)
