Around our house, Dan Pink’s terrific manga-style career guide, The Adventures of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You’ll Ever Need, is getting a lot of attention.
It could be because Dan’s text is simple, entertaining and informative. (He’s the bestselling author of A Whole New Mind and Free Agent Nation)
It could be because it’s got great illustrations by Rob Ten Pas.
It could be because Dan is really good at inserting stick-in-your-brain tips in a whimsical story line.
Or, it could be the fact that we wish we’d read this book when we were in our twenties.
Actually, it’s all of the above.
I will make sure that each of our four daughters (ages 17, 18, 20 and 21) reads it, discusses it with her friends, and memorizes Dan’s six key points.
It’s a quick read that makes the whole what-should-I-do-with-my-life ordeal a lot easier to handle.
Go buy it right now and get copies for every 20-something you know. It’s the best turnaround gift you can give anyone who has done everything “right” but is stuck looking at a future that just doesn’t seem so bright after all.
Hope and help in a comic book? Dan gets it right.
