Book Summary: The Adventures of Johnny Bunko 🥢
Over the December holiday break I spent a lot of time reading a mix of books. Some of those were design books and easy to find ways to apply what I’ve learned. For other personal or professional books, there isn’t necessarily a straightforward way to apply that knowledge. So I’ve decided to write a post about every personal or professional development book I read this year. Teaching is the best way to learn right?!
To start the year off, I read The Adventures of Johnny Bunko by Daniel Pink. On the surface, this looks like just another comic book, which Pink brilliantly uses to explain 6 essential pieces of career advice. It was a fun experience to read a practical personal development book that feels like a comic book. It took me back to those days of Scholastic book fairs from elementary school. It’s a very quick read, it probably took about an hour or two.
I’ll keep this first post of the year brief — without further delay, I’ll get into the 6 lessons with some commentary on each. I won’t be getting into the plot line at all and ruin the story for you, just buy the book!
1. There is no plan. 🤷🏻♂️
Allow life to take you where it may, something I learned from The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.
