 One of the best career guides ever September 30, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This animated career guide has some of the best advice I've ever read in such a condensed, easy to read format. The story line shares six important rules that can not only be applied to one's career, but to one's entire life. The only reason it loses a star is because it's too short; definitely a one-sit read.

I was a little skeptical believing a 50 some year old could get anything out of a `comic' book but I bought it anyway based on the reviews of others.
Although a quick and easy read, I got some life lessons which I will use forever.
Even if you have no plans to change where you are in your life / career, I highly recommend this book.
I nonetheless enjoyed it thoroughly September 19, 2008

Having once been a career adviser, I expected this book (which someone casually gave me, as if to say, "You'll enjoy this") to be interesting but not enlightening. And while it is true that the concepts in the book were not new to ME, I nonetheless enjoyed it thoroughly, primarily due to its innovative presentation. The career concepts and advice in it were sound too, the kind of things that I myself would profess, so I therefore consider its content GENUINE. It's a fast read too, which doesn't hurt.
If you are in the market for any kind of motivational spark or career guidance, this would be a great starting point. This book brings comix back in style!
Career Advice for a 20-something September 3, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I gave the book to a 22 year old and he sat down and immediately READ the whole thing. The graphic novel format is genius. Heck, I am well past my 20's and I enjoyed it. I am a big fan of Daniel Pink and especially Whole New Mind. If you can't get a college age or younger to read Whole New Mind this book just might lure them into it. Great information presented in a way that appeals to the audience who most needs it. A great gift to give!! I will be buying more copies to give.
Best career guide I've seen. August 25, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've been working with teen-agers and young adults for over thirty years; counseling them in all areas, including career planning. Johnny Bunko is the only career guide I have ever seen that might capture the imagination and attention of a teen-ager or twenty-something. Way to go Dan and Rob! Awesome job! Thank you.
