This book is designed to help you build your dream life. To accomplish this goal, you will learn about pursuing your dreams from the undisputed experts: immigrants. Year after year, millions of well-meaning, but often overbearing, parents immigrate to America to bring greater socioeconomic opportunity to their families while pushing their children to enter highly-regarded, highly-paid, and highly-stable professions. The result: Millions of kids who feel that they must choose between living a life of their own or receiving the support and love of their parents. Doctor, Lawyer, Engineer: How to Pursue Your Dreams without Giving Your Parents a Heart Attack answers: Why does the pressure to pursue these careers exist? Do these careers pay off as parents expect? What are the psychological/financial implications of this pressure? Read stories from children of immigrants who charted their own path, such as Yvonne Orji who traded med school for a comedy career and now plays a main character on HBO's Insecure. By the end of the book you will have learned how to build a fulfilling and economically viable life for yourself, all without giving your parents a heart attack.
Autorenporträt
Nnamdi Nwaezeapu is a second-generation American, born and raised in Washington, DC. As a child of a Nigerian immigrant, Nnamdi was groomed from birth to become either a doctor, lawyer, or engineer. He earned his BA in Psychology from Columbia University and was later offered a scholarship to attend Columbia Law School. After experiencing a quarter-life crisis, however, Nnamdi decided to put his legal education on hold to pursue his dream of becoming an entrepreneur. Nnamdi has since worked with several early stage companies in the health and wellness space and, from New York City, runs his own online community dedicated to helping people live happier, healthier lives.
