Meet Johnny Bunko

One of the simplest, yet, most convincing career books I have read recently (actually read it in 1 train ride from Shibuya to Yokohama). Written in manga style, The Adventures of Johnny Bunko by Daniel Pink examines 6 pieces of advice no parent, teacher, counselor, HR expert or boy scout leader has taught you.

Daniel Pink attended Northwestern University and Yale law school, but he has never practiced law. When failing his bar exams, he discovered that working as a free agent was best for him,writing books, lecturing on topics like career development and motivation. He did work for the US government, even writing speeches for Al Gore, for a few years.

Check out the trailer.
