Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Go, Johhny, Go!I thoroughly enjoyed both the presentation and substance of this wonderful little book. Pink does a great job of delivering his message within the genre of manga. Well done and balanced. Full of good advice. Delivered in a fun way. I wouldn't have picked this book on my own. Yes, I would have judged a book by its cover. I've seen other "business" books try to deliver their message in a non-traditional format. Those have failed. This one succeeded. Kudos to a friend of mine who suggested ... Read More Rating:  - promising ideas, devisive way to delivery the ideasMy point of view is dissenting compared to many reviews. So I will start by saying that the 6 defining ideas of the book truly are of great value. They include: 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." All ideas have merit, although not perfect when actually applied. The problem with the book is the same I have ... Read More Rating:  - Laser sharp advice in a nifty formatIt may take me longer to write this review than it did to read all of this book; you can read it nearly as fast as you can turn the pages. (In fact you can read most of it free on the book's website.) But that shouldn't diminish the excellent advice contained here, useful for anyone in any job, not just the young people it's obviously aimed at: focus on your strengths, realize that there is no "plan", that sort of thing. One caveat. Don't look for any deep advice beyond the six central points ... Read More Rating: - One of the best career guides everThis 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. Rating: - FantasticI 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.
