Good advice all around, presented in an entertaining format. It took me all of 20 minutes to read, and I'm a slow reader.

The Adventures of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You'll Ever Need by Daniel Pink, art by Rob Ten Pas, Penguin Books, 2008
I wasn't looking for a career guide and I didn't expect to buy a manga-style comic book about business but, since The Adventures of Johnny Bunko is by Daniel Pink, I grabbed it right away. Pink is the author of A Whole New Mind which highlights the ever-increasing importance of right-brain thinking for the success of today's workers. In Johnny Bunko, Pink uses right-brain elements like design, story, emotion, and metaphor to talk about six lessons for career success. After a lucky "break," character Johnny Bunko combines the teachings of a flighty guru with his own experiences to learn the six lessons:
There is no plan.
Think strengths, not weaknesses.
It's not about you.
Persistence trumps talent.
Make excellent mistakes.
Leave an imprint.
What's appealing about these lessons, besides their simplicity, is their applicability to more than just one's career aspirations. Personal relationships, family life, and community participation can all benefit from focusing on people's strengths or a desire to leave a positive imprint, for example.
And the book is appealing too. The manga illustrations evoke both mood and motion - qualities absent from the business publishing world. The book becomes accessible to anyone and invites a quick re-read whenever there is a spare moment. Not a bad quality considering it could take a whole career to master these six lessons! For that reason alone, it's this year's graduation present for everyone on my list.

"Bunko" has been carefully reviewed here at Career Control Center. In addition to being used in our research with Clients (plus an extensive Evaluation Questionnaire). To date, most responses have been very positive. We are currently analyzing this data further and plan to utilize "Bunko" extensively with sub 25 year old Clients and in our research and promotion activities. This may well part of the answer..

This book is something that your graduating senior will actually read! This book has great advice for--really--a newly changing world. Old advice on career planning doesn't cut it anymore. It is much better to use a compass, than a map when thinking about the future
Do your loved one a favor and buy a career guide, with great advice--that he/she will actually read! Buy this book!
