Quarter Life Crisis

Dan Pink sent me his quarter life comic book - Adventures of Johnny Bunko - a few months ago. It was quick read but I just haven’t gotten to writing about it. Anyways, it was a pretty entertaining piece - quick to read, nice artwork, with some good career and life lessons for quarter life crisis-ers that are a not quite as generic and more digestible than what you get in most self help books.

Here’s a few questions for his inspiration for writing this book:

‘as it happens, quarter-lifers (and folks a bit younger) were indeed part of the inspiration. at visits to colleges and companies, people would often ask for advice — and i realized that their premises about work were all wrong. (example: everyone seemed to have a “plan.”) then i realized i had the same mistaken premises at their age. so i decided to key the book around the six things i wish i’d known 25 years ago.”
