Told in manga-the Japanese comic book format that's an international sensation--it's the fully illustrated story of a young Everyman just out of college who lands his first job. Johnny Bunko is new to the Boggs Corp., and he stumbles through his early months as a working stiff until a crisis prompts him to rethink his approach. Step by step he builds a career, illustrating as he does the six core lessons of finding, keeping, and flourishing in satisfying work. A groundbreaking guide to surviving and flourishing in any career, The Adventures of Johnny Bunko is smart, engaging and insightful, and offers practical advice for anyone looking for a life of rewarding work.

 Rating:  - Career Advice for a 20-somethingI gave the book to a 22 year old and he sat down and immediately READ the whole thing. The graphic novel format is genius. Heck, I am well past my 20's and I enjoyed it. I am a big fan of Daniel Pink and especially Whole New Mind. If you can't get a college age or younger to read Whole New Mind this book just might lure them into it. Great information presented in a way that appeals to the audience who most needs it. A great gift to give!! I will be buying more copies to give. Rating:  - Best career guide I've seen.I've been working with teen-agers and young adults for over thirty years; counseling them in all areas, including career planning. Johnny Bunko is the only career guide I have ever seen that might capture the imagination and attention of a teen-ager or twenty-something. Way to go Dan and Rob! Awesome job! Thank you.

People who think along lines of following rules will probably eat this stuff up, but the problems with rule following are many: How should one prioritize the rules? What are the meta-rules -- the rules that tell us when to make ... Read More Rating: - Got 30 minutes? Read this book..."The Karate Kid" meets "Office Space" through the popular Japanese medium "Manga" in this totally enjoyable read. Meet Johnny, toiling slavishly in an unrewarding and uninspiring dead-end job, thinking he's "paying his dues," and "getting his ticket punched." Enter Diana, 3-foot-nothing hard hitting tough love career counseling pixie (think spawn of Mr. Miyagi and Tinkerbell), to show Johnny the ropes and get him moving in a good orderly direction. Fun stuff. Do I think Mssrs. Pink and ...
