Underdog Nation
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.
In Underdog Nation, Quang X. Pham 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.
“Underdog Nation is packed with wisdom, rare lessons on resilience and personal growth, and what it means to have and pursue a purpose. Readers will understand what success means and how to identify and put together the skills required to define and achieve personal success. Delivered in gorgeous prose, this rollicking memoir is an exciting journey that will inspire readers on their journeys.”

A Sense of Duty
A memoir by a former Vietnamese refugee who became a U.S. Marine.
Quang Pham’s A Sense of Duty is an affecting story of fate, hope, and the aftermath of the most divisive war the United States has ever fought. This heartfelt salute to the spirit of America is also the account of the author’s reunion with his long-absent father, Hoa Pham, himself a devoted officer who saw combat firsthand as a South Vietnamese fighter pilot. Hoa’s revelations about his wartime experience leave Quang even more conflicted about his service in the Marines in the first Gulf War, and after years of struggling to reconnect with each other and the homeland they left behind, the two set out on a final, profound quest—to make sense of the war in Vietnam.
“A Sense of Duty is a poignant story of two distant wars, service by father to South Vietnam and Marine son to the United States in the Persian Gulf, but ultimately it is a son’s tribute to his father and a way of saying “thank you” to all in his father’s generation who served honorably to defend freedom and whose story has yet to be told.”
