    5.0 out of 5 stars "The most SUCCESSFUL people -- not all of the time, but most of the time -- make decisions for FUNDAMENTAL reasons."
    Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2014
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    This book was cool, it's a Manga career guide which will hopefully reach an audience that wouldn't normally be open to the advice the authors is giving. I've never read a Manga book before so it took me a couple sections to get used to the way the words are laid out along with the illustrations.

    If you read business or career books often you may be familiar with the six points of advice offered. Even if this is the case I found the book refreshing and the illustrations entertaining. It was a nice change of pace from reading a standard book format and is a reminder of the benefits of mixing "creative arts" - writing and drawing.

    I will be sharing this book with my 20 and 16 year old brothers. I think they will be more open to reading this type of advice due to the Manga style. Even though this book might be appealing to them I doubt they will be able to connect with the office situations Johnny Bunko finds himself in.

    The ideal market would seem to be a college graduate with about one year experience in a corporate environment. This way they will understand the office and work situations but are still at an age where they are familiar with the Manga format.

    Overall, the book is great and creative. I'm in my late 20's and I enjoyed it but I also read fairly regularly and was familiar with the points of advice. I'm hoping that my younger brothers will like it but they may need some full-time work experience to connect with the story. I imagine this would be perfect as a graduation gift or for someone just starting their career with under 2 years of experience.

    Main points of advice:

    1)There is no plan.
    2) Think strengths, not weaknesses.
    3) It's not about you.
    4) Persistence trumps talent.
    5) Make excellent mistakes.
    6) Leave an imprint.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Nontraditional Presentation and Good Rules for Anyone's Career
    Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2014
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    I liked the nontraditional presentation of these career guide. It was produced as a manga comic book and its short and to the point. I read it in under 20 minutes and it shouldn't take any person too long to read. It is not full of technical jargon or grand ideas to get you started on the perfect career path. It does not tell the reader that the path to happiness is to make large amounts of money or even how to get to where you want to go.

    The thing that Bunko teaches people really well is six simple rules to think about in your career path. Each no more than a few words. I thought the simplistic rules were really good for those with short attention spans and would be a great graduation gift. It at times seems silly but the book does teach really good things to think about in the career path.

    I would have liked more discussion of these ideas and rules but understand that with the chosen format it is difficult to have an in-depth conversation with a short book. The rules are good and well-thought of but I don't know if they are good for more directional looking people. I know there is not a plan that works for everyone and each person must find their own path but some people want and need more concrete steps for their career.

    Overall a great book and one that should sit on the shelf. Even if you get other books for more discussion, this is a perfect introduction to a new way to think about careers. Get it for that recent grad you know or someone who might be unhappy in their current job/career path.

    4.0 out of 5 stars The book is to the point and really enjoyable; once you start reading, you don't feel letting go so easily
    Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2013
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    The book delivers a great career advice in a beautiful "manga" style. You follow the main character, Johnny Bunko, through a wonderful adventure while discovering new journeys in his life and career.

    The book is to the point and really enjoyable; once you start reading, you don't feel the argue of letting go until suddenly you realized that you have already finished the adventure.

    Two points that letting me hesitate on giving it a 5 star rating:
    (1)- The part when Johnny starts discovering himself is really short; I mean the book is not a long one to begin with, but I feel that that part did not gave a good view on how Johnny discovered his strengths & the things he mostly enjoys doing? How did Diana -a character in the story who helps Johnny through his journey- knew the type of career suitable for his strengths? While reading, I keep asking these questions; because when I bought the book I thought a part of it will be answered alongside the story.

    (2)- The second thing is, although the book is based on a story, real-life scenario is a totally different case and things don't end up coming as easily as it do in the book. Sometimes things take time, and probably a lot of time, a lot of mistakes might be made along the way and a lot of critical events might be there in the way of your path; those events & mistakes might become a critical factor in your life and career.

    Sometimes you miserably fail or feel stuck with no way to go. It is not easy and it might not be for a long time; but whenever that happens, you have to keep your spirit, keep trying and don't ever give up!

    5.0 out of 5 stars I wish I had read this before I went to Uni
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 1, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    Looks can be deceiving.

    As an avid reader in the field of positive psychology and self-help, when I first received the book I was a little disappointed with how short it was. Then I read it.

    This book, if you are a quick reader will take you under an hour to read but the 6 simple lessons will resonate long after you have made the book into your makeshift paperweight!

    Johnny Bunko is a white collar worker whom whilst in a stable job finds the work repetitive, tedious and soul-destroying. Johnny then after a chance meeting with a pixie-cum-career-advisor Diana starts to change his life...

    My parents were very traditional and I was told to pick a 'good degree to get a good secure job' etc & I worked earnestly for many years at these goals. But after plugging away at many jobs, although I made good money, on the inside I was really unsatisfied. After much soul-searching, I realised I had sacrificed my own personal happiness to live up to the image that my parents/society/friends told me & I should find something that taps into my 'passions' rather than just pays the bills.

    Daniel H. Pink's book although short really does give priceless advise on this matter. The reason why the book is so good is because rather than 'preach' at you like many similar books, the comic, makes you relate to the character's choices and see how you can apply them to your own life. The manga-style is very easy on the eye and & it has splashes of comical elements to keep you entertained. If you are a uni grad, want a change of career or thinking what to do next work wise, this may point you in the right direction.

    If I had read this before going to Uni,I think my life would have been very different! But as they say, better late than never! I would thoroughly recommend this book.

    Happy Reading!

    5.0 out of 5 stars ハイコンセプトなキャリア論
    Reviewed in Japan on April 8, 2008
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Dan Pinkの新作は、「米国初のビジネスマンガ」である。

    この数年間、米国で語られてきたニューウェーブの「キャリア」論が6項目のアドバイスにまとめられ、それがいわゆる日本風マンガとして極めてわかりやすく、かつ面白くまとめられている。

    そのアドバイスの底にあるのは、彼が前著「ハイコンセプト（原題：a whole new mind）」でまとめた、社会の地殻変動的変化。

    だからアドバイスも、新しいだけでなく、本質的。

    いい本だ。

    キャリア論に関心のある人、自分のキャリアを考えてみたい人にはもちろんのこと、「ハイコンセプトな表現とは何か」ということを模索している人たちにも推薦したい。
