About the book:

In 2026, many Asian Americans still face invisible barriers in their careers. Some are held back from leadership positions, told they lack the right personality, gravitas, or that they’re too “quiet” for not speaking up or self-promoting. But most advice misses the cultural context, such as how cultures of humility, high expectations, or how indirect communication styles can shape how we show up. Big Asian Energy, by John Wang (speaker and host of Big Asian Energy show) dives into research and real-world case studies to help Asian Americans break through their visibility ceiling.
