He lives with his family in New York. Hey Yang, Where’s My Thousand Bucks?—answers the question of what he’s been up to in the past few years, with self-deprecating humor. ‘The alternative title,’ Yang said, had been: Hey, Am I Racist, or Are You Andrew Yang?” —The Atlantic “The last time I read one of Andrew’s books, I was so inspired I joined the Yang Gang on the campaign trail. His earnestness, kindness, and humor gives me faith in humanity. I’m looking forward to what this book inspires me to do.” —Dave Chappelle “Andrew Yang’s new book perfectly captures what so many people find compelling aboutthe guy: his compassion, his humor (I can’t count the number of times I laughed out loud while reading this), and his deep dedication to alleviating poverty and battling against job loss due to an over-au-tomated workplace. A very timely—and remarkably upbeat—tome for our troubled times.” —Lisa Ling, journalist “If you want to understand where we are and have a few laughs along the way, read this book.” —Mark Cuban “Here’s who’s on the top of my list for a fantasy dinner party: Clooney. But somewhere on that list is Andrew Yang because he’s one of the best storytellers out there. This book is like having Yang telling nonstop incredible stories, and the world is a better, brighter place for it!” —Rainn Wilson, actor, author of Soul Boom: Why We Need a Spiritual Revolution
