Pink's genius & humor strike again. No kidding. In the opinion of someone suffering from a serious case of post-modern ennui (that'd be me), this is a fantastic career guide. Don't let the manga-style format throw you: this is a serious book. It's also a different book. It is a funny book. It is not a moralizing (or *de*moralizing book).
Here are the 6 Lessons taught by a sassy magic fairy who appears to hapless, confused Johnny Bunko whenever he opens a package of take-out chopsticks (just go with it):
1. There is no plan.
2. Think strengths, not weaknesses,
3. It's not about you.
4. Persistence triumphs talent.
5. Make excellent mistakes.
6. Leave an imprint.

But those points won't get you nearly as far as taking the hour or 2 (tops) to actually read the book. It's in the details, here.

(Those with a manga background may appreciate some of the finer humorous points. But I'm pretty sure you could have never picked up a comic book, a graphic novel, or manga and still understand it. Note: it reads L --> R front to back, though, in the Western way, not the Japanese way) ( )

Very short manga career guide. This is a format that would do well by many business books. It distills the essence into quickly digested pages (and judging from the quality of most business books, most business book readers would be well served with pictures). Great, no BS message, too. ( )

This is a career advice book in the form of a Japanese anime-style comic book. It's also a very fast read (under 30min cover-to-cover) that offers the following six tips for how to have a successful career.

1. There is no plan
2. Think Strengths not weaknesses
3. It’s not all about you
4. Persistence trumps talent
5. Make excellent mistakes
6. Leave an imprint

The whole comic book thing wasn't my style, so I didn't like the book all that much, but I would recommend it for a young college-age or perhaps slightly older person who is starting to think seriously about a career but doesn't have the patience to read a more serious book. ( )

This book was recommended by Kevin Kelly, Co-Founder of Wired. It's a beautiful graphic novel with 6 career principles. Definitely something I would gift to a young person. ( )

Plenty to think about and fun to read too. Should be read by every student in America. ( )
