The Great Johnny Bunko Challenge from DHP on Vimeo.
There's a young chap in Indiana, one Alec Quig, who has written to me about creating a career based on a polymathic degree, from which he has recently graduated. He's an interesting young man and his concerns about going forward in life are the anxieties we all face at crossroads in our lives when we are forced to make choices.
Dan Pink's latest book The Adventures of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You'll Ever Need
might help:
"From a New York Times, BusinessWeek, and Washington Post bestselling author comes a first-of-its- kind career guide for a new generation of job seekers.There's never been a career guide like it.the fully illustrated story (ingeniously told in Manga form) of a young Everyman just out of college who lands his first job.

Dan Pink's book A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future
was one of my inspirations from creating Idealog magazine with HB Media.
