A few paragraphs of career advice wrapped into lots of unnecessary... manga.Okay, so I'm not a fan, but I thought there was a chance it would be interesting. Turns out it's more the after-school-special kind of pandering, what adults feel that "young people these days" might like. Starting off by assuming your audience are morons who will identify with the loser hero of the story did not get me started on the right foot.Thankfully, Dan Pink has written plenty of other normal non-fiction books fo...
I disagree with the title a bit - for those seeking a career guide, I’d say this one doesn’t go in-depth enough with its lessons to be “the last you’ll ever need”. However, whereas it’s a comic, I realize that to go more in-depth might be at a cost of being less entertaining and also that the choice of title may be a marketing tactic. I did enjoy it though and perhaps would’ve never imagined the comic medium being used to convey such messages so kudos to the author for such a unique creation. I
While listening to the Tim Ferriss show featuring Kevin Kelly whom Tim calls the world's most interesting person suggested this book for the persons whom are just starting out on their career for getting enough clarity and to avoid the common mistakes most make , hence I had to read it then itself cause I'm just starting out and don't want to screw up anything and I did complete this graphic manga novel in a single sitting cause it was actually a brief read and super interesting, it had some hil...
Daniel Pink is one of my favorite authors and this is the last of his books I had yet to read. It is short and simple but provides a decent foundation of professional lessons. The story is focused on six career lessons that begin with "There is No Plan" and end with "Leave an Imprint." While there were no new groundbreaking methods shared in The Adventures of Johnny Bunko, it was a quick, easy read and a reminder to take focus on what's important and what you derive value from in the workplace.
The Adventures of Johnny Bunko is written in Manga-the Japanese comic book style by bestselling author Daniel Pink. I completed this book in just 45 minutes. I just loved the concept adopted by the author to deliver key points in a comic format without compromising the prose style. The book is enjoyable to read. The synopsis of this book is the following 6 points:1. There is no plan. Do what you love to do. Sticking to a infinite plan is not advisable. Do what motivates you, what excites you. An...
It's back to school time!Guys. I hated school. Like to the point that I can't even step foot in a Target between August and September because I get the dry heaves.So this book has some okay career advice. I mean, it's good, it's just that advice is always hard to take. I appreciate the attempt to make it palatable, and I do think it offers one good point, which is that you should pursue stuff you're interested in, even if it doesn't have a strong A to B career path. Because hell, you probably wo...
Persistence trumps talent.Good short read. Unconventional self-help, career guide!!Recommended 👍
For what this is- this book is brilliant. What it is? It's a self-help career guide. Mr. Pink, a former White House speech writer, elected to use the Manga storytelling style to reach his specified audience in a unique way. His justification- Why we read a book if you can do a google search?In 6 deliberately fast reading segments, Pink discusses the following principles:1. There is no plan2. Think strengths- not weaknesses3. It's not about you4. Persistence trumps talent5. Make excellent mistake...
This is one of my favorite graphic novels. Johnny Bunko shows different kinds of tips for you to getting a job. It's a pretty interesting book including tons of conflicts and advice. I would say this book is one of my favorites because I enjoy graphic novels, and I enjoyed the plot. I don't want to ruin this for you guys, so I'd recommend for you to read it. Fun, interesting, and entertaining book.
For its length, the best career book I've read. Combines the latest in "how to find a job you'll do well at - and do it well" in a succinct story in manga format. A good concept, well executed.
2.5 starsA quick read presented in a creative way. This book introduces six principles to keep in mind when thinking about career. I find the subtitle "the last career guide you'll ever need" kind of ironic because while the book introduces good principles, I think they need a bit more discussion in order for people to really see how to implement them in their lives. This is more like the career guide to start with rather than the last word. If you're someone who's willing to sit down and really...
Super fun quick read, but really insightful on career (and life) advice. Gives good examples for the 6 career secrets nobody has ever told you.
2 stars -- finished, but nothing specialHad it not been in a quick-read manga format, I would have given it 1 star ("did not finish").I was hoping for some substantial career wisdom, something I could actually use during the next 30-something career years I have in front of me. But the book just feels dull. It's a low-quality pep talk about a guy leaving his boring accounting number-crunching job to get into marketing where he thinks outside of the box and comes up with a revolutionary product (...
(Adapted from www.diyplanner.com)Last month, I was reading an article about Daniel Pink and how he went to Japan to study the art and culture surrounding Japanese comics, otherwise known as manga. He was interested in the format's popularity; this was a book format that people of all ages enjoyed reading. He studied the culture and the form to see how it could be applied to other disciplines successfully. The Adventures of Johnny Bunko is the result of that study. This introductory guide on life...
