Johnny Bunko
The Adventures of Johnny Bunko is America’s first business book in the Japanese comic format known as manga. It’s billed as “the last career guide you’ll ever need.”
The book is written by Daniel Pink, the New York Times bestselling author of A Whole New Mind and Free Agent Nation. He lectures to corporations, associations and universities around the world on economic transformation and the changing world of work.
Johnny Bunko is stuck in a dead end job. He begins to suspect that what he thought he knew is just plain wrong. One night, he meets Diana, an unlikely career advisor. She reveals to him the six essential lessons for thriving in the world of work. Here they are:
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
