About The Book
Unleash your inner underdog by starting with success.
The reason most people feel left out, burned out, unappreciated, or lost in life or in their professions is because they are chasing success defined by someone else. The solution? Define your own vision of success.
Author Quang X. Pham has consistently defined success by harnessing the spirit of the underdog. From his roots as a Vietnam War child refugee, to flying into combat as the first Marine Corps pilot of his heritage, to ringing the bell as CEO of a new IPO on Wall Street, Pham’s equation for success has been rooted in his ER Approach™—zeroing in on your effort and results.
In Underdog Nation, he disrupts the standard mindset advice by presenting a framework to help you commit to your vision of success, confront your obstacles, course correct, and build your credibility. Most people sabotage their chances by overcomplicating the journey. Meanwhile, underdogs excel by simplifying decision-making, honing their skills, and disrupting expectations.
Packed with first-hand stories and actionable advice, Underdog Nation will teach you:
No one else will hand you success. Zero in on your effort and results to define your own success story. If you’re tired of the status quo, consider this your invitation to join the Underdog Nation in the greatest country in the world, the USA.

Raves and Reviews
"A winningly personal and uplifting call to believing in your own inner underdog."—Kirkus Reviews
"Quang X. Pham's Underdog Nation is packed with wisdom, rare lessons on resilience and personal growth, and what it means to have and pursue a purpose... Delivered in gorgeous prose, this rollicking memoir is an exciting journey that will inspire readers..."—The Book Commentary
“Underdog Nation… reiterates the importance of defining success for oneself, rather than allowing others to define it for you. This leads the text onto some unexpected but frankly enlightening paths… [Underdog Nation] sells the importance of action, reflection, and ambition.”—IndieReader
