Connect the Dots - Rashmi Bansal : Book Review

Steve Jobs , founder Apple, in his Commencement speech at Stanford University Convocation (2005) said three simple stories from his life which he breifed that one cannot connect the dots looking forwards, you can only do them backwards and also added Stay hungry Stay foolish till you find success.. so these words have become the authors titles:

Stay hungry Stay foolish
Connect the dots

While reading Rashmi Bansals Stay hungry Stay foolish , i felt its little bit half cooked.The book is about collection of interviews of IIM Grads who turned out to be entrepreneurs.It started well and was completed to be ended.

Rashmi has came along with a step forward in the tranformation into an author in her recent book Connect the dots from previous experience, this Aluminus of IIM A , interviewed the Entrepreneurs who followed their instinct , the good part of the book is the narration of each and everyone has been maintained carefully throughout the book and is also cooked well.

The book is also a collection of interviews about their journeys to success by 20 Entrepreneurs who didnt have the formal management education through institutions but they learnt them burning their hands.

Let it be the Prem Ganapathy of Dosa Plaza or Ganesh Ram of Veta or Raghu Khanna of Cashurdrive or Saurabh and Gaurav of Political Edge or Paresh or Krishna Reddy of Prince Group , everyone's story is inspiring in their own ways.And at times we forget to notice the leaders next door who are truly inspiring with their deeds.

Its worth gifting to people to whom you feel needs a moral boast up besides Monks (Robin Sharma) and Chicken Soups....

Good for Reading as well as Gifting...

My Rating :2.5/5
