After interviewing over one hundred recent and long-time immigrants, Satish Mehta, who migrated to the U.S. in 1973, writes a light-hearted, slightly satirical playbook, taking you on a journey to assimilate in the American society and become a real American. No matter your wealth, your stage of life, or when you migrated to the U.S., this book will provide the insights to help you blend in faster than you ever thought it was possible. In these pages, through simple English and light-hearted stories, you will discover,

• How America has changed and yet not changed over the last 50 years
• The subtle and not so subtle distinctions in different regions of America
• How to meet and greet people
• Understanding the conversation styles and knowing the preferred topics
• American passions and the idiosyncrasies
• American personas and the American Dream
• Adopt the mindset and values of Americans and experience the fulfillment you deserve

 
“Satish Mehta’s ‘How to be an American: An off-the-record guide for how to be an immigrant in America,’ is meant to be a tongue-in-cheek primer for immigrant assimilation; it certainly achieves this goal as well as being a fun-house mirror for US citizens. In reading this, I had more than a few chuckles at myself and fellows. I am sure that many of us have not thought about how we look in the eyes of other cultures; the comparisons herein may be an eye-opener for those less aware of the differences between other cultures, and in some cases the, similarities. The rule here is: Never take yourself too seriously. Altogether a delightful read.”
~Joseph L. Lennox-Smith, M.Ed., Ph.D.
 
“Read your new book in one sitting. Irreverently funny, but like all good satire: much truth to be found. … A terrific book: I enjoyed your work and learned.”
