Summary:

However, unlike the first book, this book carries stories of individuals without an MBA. The stories are based on lives of successful entrepreneurs who dared to look beyond the scope of academics and the dearth of the silver spoon.
The individuals are categorized into three groups based on their inspiration. The first category is known as Jugaad, it has 9 stories, of people who had no formal training in business management and who learned the craft through observation and trial and error. The success stories of men behind Dosa-plaza and Su-Kam inverters to name a few, makes you think whether the conventional way of owning up a degree promises future entrepreneurial accomplishments.
The next category Junoon has stories of people who were more passionate about their work than the profits and actually managed to have the better of both the worlds. The stories of R. Sriram who managed to convert his love for books into a business opportunity by establishing the book-giant Crosswords. The story of Chetan Miani who founded Reva, the company which builds electric cars, has a drive and passion for electric cars that go well beyond the limitations of business and treats technology as a tool purely used for upliftment of quality of life of the whole of humanity.
The last category Zubaan tells the stories of people who are inclined to Art and had to break out from their conventional jobs, in one such case the dream job with Internet giant Yahoo!
Review:
The author is heavily inspired by Steve Jobs. philosophy towards work and how a vulnerable disposition can really help you with achieving the goal that you have envisioned. Connect the Dots is a book for those who want to know more about the power to believe and its wonders. The author plies on the base of readers heavily oriented to business and has developed a successful fan following. The author who is a youth writer has come out with another book with similar central theme, the first one being Stay Hungry Stay Foolish. The motivating stories of various individuals in their respective fields, tears apart the notion that academics is be all and end all.
The entrepreneurs who made it big riding on hard-work and steadfastness lays down to rest all the contrived hang-ups that one can carry. The book beams with the message that your single-pointed orientation towards your goal is the most important if not the only point of consideration. The various stories in Connect the Dots of people from various backgrounds have the same motive of promoting self-belief and confidence in one's own ability to do.
