Big Asian Energy speaks to Asian American's unique challenges and unlocks our untapped potential, so that we can finally claim the empowerment we need to succeed. Asians are now a force in the box office, winning Oscars, dominating global music charts, and have reached the office of Vice President of the United States. Asian American professionals are seen across major corporations but are still less likely to be promoted to leadership roles. Research shows that Asian Americans struggle with self-confidence and self-criticism more than any other racial group. With Asian visibility now higher than it has been in generations, how can the new generation of Asian Americans finally step into our power? Through Wang's deeply relatable stories and his warm, charming, funny, and often disarming voice, readers will find an experienced coach who can help them come into their Big Asian Energy in every area of their lives. Wang is a leadership coach to the Asian American community, with hundreds of clients from Google, American Express, Goldman Sachs, and other global companies. His coaching videos have reached over 25 million views on Tiktok. Using the latest social science research he has developed his unique framework for empowerment. Through proven exercises and successful client stories, he shows how cultural values like collectivism might make some avoid claiming credit in group projects, or how deference to elders creates communication issues. He sees Achievers and Fixers burning out, and Chameleons or Invisible Ones assimilating themselves into imposter syndrome. Instead of urging assimilation, Wang will show Asian Americans how to advocate for themselves on their own terms, through culturally-informed guidance. John Wang's illuminating book is a bold, moving, and deeply practical guide. Big Asian Energy aims to teach readers to identify their authentic strengths and values, and to ultimately break societal and self-imposed barriers.
