 Good for what is it, but less than it claims to be Sep 28, 2009
Being quite the fan of Daniel Pink, I was excited to see that a new work of his had appeared. The book is a quick and easy read, the illustrations are fun, and it definitely contains a number of important career gems. HOWEVER, it falls far short of being "The last career guide you'll ever need". The book explores *what* to do, but says nothing about *how* to do it, which is just as important. Perhaps that would be more difficult to communicate in a short manga work.
All in all, this is probably worthwhile. Calibrate your expections appropriately, and you won't be disappointed. But don't expect to read this and have all your career problems melt away - there is a LOT that needs to be covered that isn't touched on here.

 Go Johnny! Aug 24, 2009
Love the book. Daniel Pink provides a useful, entertaining story and a step-by-step career manual.
The book is creative, simple and a practical. The title is a bulls-eye description of its contents. You'll enjoy Johnny's journey filled with fun characters and dialogue that is practical for young adults and those still trying to "figure out where they are going."

Review of Juhnny Bunko from a Career Professional Aug 08, 2009
As a professional Career Counsleor with over 25 year experience who is also certified in Dependable Strtengths and Appreciative Inquiry, I think this book is perfect! It is well written, excellently presented, has outstanding graphics and I agree completely with the 6 career secrets presented in the story.
Currently I work as a university administrator and I have been frustrated by the unwillingness of college aged students to read! How can we teach them what they need to know inorder to be successful in life if they won't read? Never the less, the fact is, it's my job to provide students with the tools they need and if using manga books will enable the necessary transfer of knowledge to occur, so be it! As the first manga book written for professional purposes, I was very please that it addresses self-discovery and exploration. These are critial topics for anyone at any age and I am excited to dicover how this book will be used in classes and what impact it will have.
I was so impressed, I bought five copies and gave one to each of my grown children.

Eye opener Aug 02, 2009
A must read for everyone that is going through or has been through the corporate circuit. Ideas of immense value, offered through a creative and eye catching visual experience. Concise, precise, and succinct. Not like most books of its kind that spend four hundred pages of time consuming, marginally contributing jabbering. This guy is getting better and better. Read his "A whole new MInd" also.

Like Listening to Merlin Jul 31, 2009
I'm glad to see Dan Pink takes his own advice. In "A Whole New Mind" he talks about what is needed in the 21st Century to be successful. One key point is innovative design, doing it differently. Another thought is to let go of left brain logic as the main stay of getting ideas and open to intuition.
Design, right brain, innovation, risk. They are all here in this Johnny Bunko tale. Using Manga takes a risk unless you are appealing to the 6 to 10 year old crowd. Yet, something wonderful happens when you let yourself become part of this book. First, you let beginner's mind take hold. You are a kid who has to learn what matters in life. You are that young girl or boy who wants to know why we work, what differences we can make, what it is all about.I have been so impressed with Dan's way of thinking and writing I asked him to endorse my book about behavior patterns. He graciously did so and I see this book as a great companion to my own.
The advice here is like talking to a kindly uncle, neighbor, Santa Clause after the holiday rush or Merlin. It is a book to keep us in touch with ourselves. And after all, isn't that what really matters?
