Blockbuster drugs - each of which generates more than a billion dollars a year in revenue - have revolutionized the industry since the early 1980s, when sales of Tagamet alone transformed a minor Philadelphia-based firm into the world's ninth-largest pharmaceutical company. In Blockbuster Drugs, Jie Jack Li tells the fascinating stories behind the discovery and development of these highly lucrative medicines, while also exploring the tumult the industry now faces as the "patent cliff" nears.

Are you still waiting for luck to change your life—or are you ready to change your luck? In Joy Luck Club, legendary hairstylist, entrepreneur, and self-made philosopher Jack Li, also known as the Hair Professor, reveals a bold, stylish new way to think about fortune—not as fate, but as a formula. After 44 years behind the chair and 4,000 free haircuts given to the unemployed, Jack has developed a theory that turns every haircut into a strategy, every setback into a system, and every man into a master of his own luck.

When my grandfather lived, the average lifespan was fifty. My father’s generation reached sixty. My generation will live to a hundred. But survival alone is not enough. Simply making money, marrying, and raising children does not bring satisfaction anymore. The longer we live, the more we need fulfillment—mental, emotional, and spiritual. This book is not about slowing down aging creams or miracle diets. It is about the philosophy of why you want to live forever and the practical systems of how to design it.

I will guide you through the six stages of life—a framework born from decades behind the barber chair, countless conversations with clients, and my personal journey from immigrant teenager to salon owner, author, and teacher. Each stage reflects not just what you care about, but how you see yourself, and how others see you. What toys mean to a child, relationships mean to a young adult. What balance means in your thirties, empathy begins to teach you in your forties. And when you pass fifty, the true superpower is not avoiding stress—it is mastering feelings, turning negatives into positives.

The Seven Dimensions of Meaning is not your average self-help book. It’s a mirror, a machete, and a manual. Written by Hairprofessor Young—hairstylist, philosopher, salon owner, and author of over 22 books—this powerful guide takes you beyond success and into significance. With humor, hard-earned wisdom, and real barbershop grit, Hairprofessor Young shows how every man is chasing something: wealth, joy, purpose, love, career, growth, or health. But very few stop to ask which of these dimensions truly drive them—and which ones are being silently ignored.

This isn’t a book of theories. It’s a book of strategies—seasoned by sweat, sharpened by scissors, and delivered with humor, clarity, and straight talk. Whether you're a barber, a businessman, a father, or a man still figuring things out—Purpose is written for you.

In Passion: Career, Friendship, Hobby, Hair professor Young delivers a sharp, streetwise, and psychologically grounded guide for men who want more out of life—but don’t know where to start. Through a blend of witty barbershop dialogue, real-world wisdom, and poetic insight, this book introduces a revolutionary way to look at self-development—not through abstract ideas, but through the everyday decisions we make about our careers, our relationships, and our free time.

Jack Li—widely known as The Hair Professor—started his career sweeping floors at a Hong Kong salon at the age of 14. By 17, he was in the U.S. with nothing but a dream and a pair of scissors. Over four decades later, Jack has owned seven successful salons, given over 4,000 free haircuts to unemployed clients across China, and cut hair for over 500,000 people across all walks of life. But what he really cuts through is doubt, fear, and stress—using hair as the medium, and psychology as the message.

This book is for men who juggle family, work, and self-identity and wonder if they’re doing any of it right. It’s for husbands who want their wives to look at them the way they once did. It’s for fathers who want their kids to see a role model, not a stressed-out ghost. And yes, it’s for barbers and stylists, because every haircut you give is therapy in disguise.

Let me cut straight to it—pun intended. This isn’t just another book about gender. It’s about the mirror, the myth, and the man who stares into it wondering, “Who the hell am I… really?” This book is your mirror upgrade. Not the foggy one from your high school locker room—but the high-definition, soul-revealing, paradigm-popping kind. We’re not here to label. We’re here to liberate.

Welcome to Hair Psychology. This isn’t just a book. This is a haircut for your mind. A trim for your soul. A full fade for your self-doubt. You didn’t come here for style tips—you came here to remember who the hell you are.
