Zero to One

Author: Peter Thiel with Blake Masters



Reading this book is like having a conversation with someone really smart. What you should do is really shut up and listen! From page one it is clear that Peter Thiel is both brilliant and well-read and he shares his perspective on everything under the sun including the Unabomber’s Manifesto. 

Most of the book pertains to what you should look for when you join a startup, or choose to start your own company. It is very clear that Peter’s bar is very high. He firmly believes that a startup that does not have it’s eyes on achieving monopoly status in its space is not worth starting. I might have to read this again to remember all the good advice!
