If you've been reading this blog for some time, you probably know that I'm a big fan of Dan Pink's "A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future." (See this really long post here, inspired, in part, by the book.)
I'm now eagerly anticipating Dan's next book, "Johnny Bunko," which is supposed to come out in April and which he claims will be "the last career guide you'll ever need." Written in the form of manga (Japanese comics), the book is supposed to provide "strategic advice you won’t find anywhere else – the sorts of tough and inspiring truths people wish they’d known when they were starting out in the workforce." And the best part is that you should be able to read it in an hour.
Now that's the kind of book we all need. I agree completely with Dan that strategic, big-picture outlook is exactly what we all need in our work lives (and lives in general, I would add). Of course, Dan seems to suggest that the book will put career counselors (career coaches?) out of work. I guess we'll have to see about that :).
