 The Medium in the Message April 14, 2008
4 out of 8 found this review helpful
Marshall McLuhan would be smiling down on Daniel Pink for appreciating that "the medium IS the message." Johnny Bunku is a perfect book for the ADD challenged mind to pique its interest and want to find out more. This book is the antidote for people who buy books to help them and then never finish them. You and the people you care about will read and finish this book and also it will also stir conversations about the simple yet profound messages in it. It is a rare treat to find visionary writers like Dan Pink who are able to keep their eye on the horizon and who can pull us along with them.

 Dan Pinks' Career Guide Book Johnny Bunko = Manga Mastery April 9, 2008
5 out of 9 found this review helpful
I have read dozens of career books, articles,and professional publications and The adventures of Johnny Bunko is by far the most original. Dan Pink's use of the story-telling Japanese Manga genre is powerful and provides real world content in a manner that is easy to digest.
As a Career Formation expert I suggest reading the book and buying a copy for family, friends, students, and instructors from the classroom to the board room.
The Adventures of Johnny Bunko packs a whallop ! WELL DONE.
Ignore this book at your peril! April 8, 2008
5 out of 9 found this review helpful
Dan Pink is one of the most original writers on contemporary business and employment/career trends around. He writes with clarity and conciseness. His books provide a context for interpreting the daily news, as shown by A Whole New Mind, his previous book.
When Dan does something, it's usually worth noting, because he's usually ahead of the rest of us.
So, it's pretty noteworthy when he decided to use the Magna, or "picture story," format for his career guide, The Adventures of Johnny Bunko. Today, increasing numbers of people have neither the budget, inclination, or time, for reading long books. Any format that lowers the barrier to reading is to be applauded; the Manga format is perfect for recent graduates looking for inspiring and specific career advice in an accessible, visual, non-condescending format.
Johnny Bunko, published by a Penguin imprint, may be the first Manga business book, but it's certainly not going to be the last. Anyone interested in providing "non-preachy" career advice to recent graduates, or those prematurely downsized, can't go wrong with either Dan's 6-step advice not the format he uses to deliver it. (Nor, indeed, the price.)
This is one career guide you can be sure the recipient will read!
Engaging Format for Practical Wisdom April 6, 2008
5 out of 8 found this review helpful
Although Johnny Bunko's six lessons are learned in a cubicle environment, it doesn't take "a whole new mind" to see how they adapt to situations in everyday life in the real world. This was my first exposure to the visual manga format which I find makes the information far easier to recall and retain. Leave it to Mr Pink to practice what he's been preaching and put out a book in this new (to American readers) format.

I wanna be Daniel Pink! April 4, 2008
9 out of 14 found this review helpful
Daniel Pink has done it again, but in an ingeniously innovative way through manga graphics. Both my teen-aged daughter, who is exploring her passions and strengths in a school course entitled "Career Explorations", and I, exploring the next phase of my life during a mid-life opportunity, found this little tome full of wisdom, fun, and uncommon sense in charting the journey of our life's work and our work life. Sometimes a compass if far more useful than a map, and Johnny Bunko points true North.
