The Adventures of Johnny Bunko

There are a handful of Christian books about vocation, work, and discerning your calling that I highly recommend, such as Finding a Job You Can Love and God at Work.Another great book on this topic, though not written from a Christian perspective, is Daniel Pink's The Adventures of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You'll Ever Need. This is a fun book, a very helpful book, and an unusual book. It's genre is manga.The book narrates the story of a young man, Johnny Bunko, who is in search of his calling/career path. Along the way, author Daniel Pink provides 6 essential lessons ("career secrets") to guide one's approach to work. I've recommended this book to a number of twentysomethings here in the Bay Area wanting help in career transitions, and they've all found it very helpful.The 6 essential lessons taught in the book 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.PS. In my opinion, everything written by Daniel Pink is thought provoking and worth reading.
