Seven Ways to Amp Your Attitude
How often do you walk into Starbucks, go to the coffee pot at home or work, grab some chocolate or a bag of chips, or buy your favorite caffeinated beverage looking for just a little more juice, something to energize you, or to amp up your day just a little bit (there’s even an energy drink named Amp!)?
Sure you may like the taste of those treats, and even gain some temporary energy, but they aren’t a complete answer to your energy and attitude challenges.
Here are seven specific things you can do at any time (including right now) to amp up your energy and attitude – with no caffeine crash or calories!

The Adventures of Johnny Bunko:
The Last Career Guide You Will Ever Need
by Daniel H. Pink (art by Rob Ten Pas)
 Graduations are upon us, and, if you’re like me, you may be looking for a book for the high school or college grads in your life. (As a reader, I always want to give books as gifts.) Often I don’t though, because I fear the book won’t be read.
I don’t have that worry with Johnny Bunko. This story (of Johnny Bunko of course) highlights some key lessons for anyone in the job market, but that isn’t why I’m confident people will read it. People will read it because it is written in manga - or Japanese comic - form.
That’s right; I am recommending a career advice book written as a comic book.
The book probably isn’t “the last career guide you will ever need,” but it does use a captivating story and format to highlight six important life/career lessons. I won’t reveal them here because you will quickly learn them in the story itself.
I picked up this book because I am a fan of the author (read my recommendation of A Whole New Mind) and because I was fascinated by the manga form for this type of book.
I wasn’t disappointed. I read it on part of an airplane flight. My high school sophomore also has read it, and we both enjoyed it. While the book isn’t a complete career guide treatise, it does make great points in a memorable and creative way.
You may want to buy copies for those about to embark on their career – or looking to make a change, but buy a copy for yourself too. You will find it a worthwhile and fun read. I expect that you will (as I did) find that you leave the book feeling more creative and ready to tackle the challenges in front of you more successfully.
