I liked the nontraditional presentation of these career guide. It was produced as a manga comic book and its short and to the point. I read it in under 20 minutes and it shouldn't take any person too long to read. It is not full of technical jargon or grand ideas to get you started on the perfect career path. It does not tell the reader that the path to happiness is to make large amounts of money or even how to get to where you want to go.
The thing that Bunko teaches people really well is six simple rules to think about in your career path. Each no more than a few words. I thought the simplistic rules were really good for those with short attention spans and would be a great graduation gift. It at times seems silly but the book does teach really good things to think about in the career path.
I would have liked more discussion of these ideas and rules but understand that with the chosen format it is difficult to have an in-depth conversation with a short book. The rules are good and well-thought of but I don't know if they are good for more directional looking people. I know there is not a plan that works for everyone and each person must find their own path but some people want and need more concrete steps for their career.
Overall a great book and one that should sit on the shelf. Even if you get other books for more discussion, this is a perfect introduction to a new way to think about careers. Get it for that recent grad you know or someone who might be unhappy in their current job/career path.
