About the book
Andrew Yang challenges the narrative that success requires only elite education and a corporate career. The book argues that entrepreneurs and innovators who build real products, services, and companies contribute more significantly to society than many high-status professionals do. Yang defends the value of practical and creative work as a path to lasting impact.
With insights drawn from his experience as an entrepreneur and investor, the work inspires readers to question assumptions about career and to consider entrepreneurship as a viable and rewarding alternative.
