Review: Smartcuts: How Hackers, Innovators, and Icons Accelerate Success

Smartcuts: How Hackers, Innovators, and Icons Accelerate Success Smartcuts: How Hackers, Innovators, and Icons Accelerate Success by Shane Snow
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

As with many business/self-help books, this is a list that could've been a good blog post. The author adds examples, many of which are personal anecdotes. 

The examples, as well as the points he makes, seem good enough, and I took notes. But as with any business book, this lacks the list of people who followed every single step he mentions and still didn't attain success. Of course, anything like that would defeat the purpose, and it is impossible to literally analyze every single person who followed these same steps, but it would still help. 

Obviously I know there aren't "Step-by-step" instructions that guarantee success in business, but it seems like this fact could at least be addressed. You can definitely study masters, catch the wave, find a superconnector, 10x it, etc. and still not attain success.
