Freedom Train

I hear that freedom train a commin’ round the bend…

New Job!
New outlook!
New future!
New…book!

After much anticipation my copy of the Adventures of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You’ll Ever Need had finally arrived…..and then I finished it. I guess that is the problem with manga…you can get through it very quickly.
I was genuinely surprised to see the entire book was in manga. I would have figured that it would have been more like a career strategy guide with bits of manga scattered throughout to keep our generation’s 22 second attention spans in check.
By no means was it a short book, concise is a better word, its length was appropriate and it kept me interested throughout. The lessons learned were not something that needed to be memorized, highlighted or crammed; they existed merely to be an introspective and retrospective method of achieving personal and professional zen. It’s six lessons are well thought out and inspire actions based on achievements in a career and happiness.

Stop by the artist’s blog to check out some nifty stuff.

Edit: I just noticed the shopped computer behind him has a missing corner. Ha!
