Zero to One

Peter Thiel has built multiple breakthrough companies, and Zero to One shows how.

This book delivers completely new and refreshing ideas on how to create value in the world.

From it I learned that the best way to grow a business is by dominating a small niche and grow from there with an ambitious long-term vision.

Zero to One really helped me understand that in order to do unique or extraordinary things, you have to think in a very unique way. By thinking like the rest of the world, it’s easy to follow what everyone else does or says and lose the ability to think individually and objectively.

In Peter Thiel's book, he asks the question "What important truth do very few people agree with you on?" If you can answer that question it will give you the direction on how & where to grow your life & business to the next level.

I would say the one book for entrepreneurs, there's several books that I recently read. Peter Thiel has a book. Zero to One I read. It was good.

There’s a lot of business books out there. 99% of them are BS. Read this one.

So many concepts really changed my attitude about not only business but capitalism.

Thiel, the founder of PayPal, and first investor in Facebook, is brilliant in how he simply shares his theories on building a billion dollar business.

I love his story on my podcast what exactly happened in the room when a 24 year old Mark Zuckerberg was offered $250,000,000 and refused it in two minutes.

Enjoying brilliant, often provocative, Peter Thiel book, Zero to One. Will buy many and distribute to all senior execs.

[Currently reading] Peter Thiel's: Zero To One. Looking for some insight on how he sees things. Interesting to get his take on the fact that a VC is likely to need any one investment be able to return the size of that VC's fund.

I have lots of books to recommend, but they are not related to my career path. The only one that is remotely related is Peter Thiel’s Zero to One.

Zero to One by Peter Thiel to understand power laws and why they apply to startups and startup investing.

For anyone interested in startups, this is a highly recommended book about what it takes to start a business.

This book is by Peter Thiel, who while I completely disagree with his worldview has seen thousands of startups both grow and fail. They have some interesting takes on what it takes to make a startup successful and look towards changing the world.

In his book, he talked about how competition is for losers, and that really changed my mindset. After reading this book, I am able to think strategically on how to build a company that does not need to avoid competition.

I am paraphrasing here, however when he mentioned make something 10 times better than you competitors products or don't bother at all.

It shifted the end result I was looking for in the business I currently run. I changed the whole approach about what the business would offer and how products would be delivered.

Zero to One by Peter Thiel because the book perfectly encapsulates what makes a tech startup incredibly successful and I often find myself thinking of his thought process when looking at adding a feature or investing in a company.

This book is written by Peter Thiel and I admire him a lot. I was always curious to know about his journey, he clearly presents his views on businesses and startups in this book.

Zero to One – Peter Thiel: clear, practical guide about what it takes to build the next successful start up.

My favorite business book is Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future by Peter Thiel and Blake Masters. It’s my favorite because it explains lots of important and consequential concepts in a way that makes sense for a normal person. Moreover, the concepts discussed challenge conventional wisdom taught in schools and enforced by society.

Thiel's philosophy of "competition is for losers" rings very true. It's a book that will make you stop and think about what kind of business you're building and what kind of impact you're having before you start.

I would recommend Zero to One by Peter Thiel because it gives different perspectives on how to create value in this world.

In the process of an acquisition of my business by a bigger company, I was reading Zero to One by Peter Thiel, and it helped me understand the meaning behind an acquisition, and what to expect from it.
I really enjoyed this book because it is very easy and quick to read, but still has a lot of value. Still today its lessons are keys to how I chose to invest, how I see companies and how I tend to think when working on mine.

There's a great book by Peter Thiel (I love the book but I don't endorse his political preference). In that book he addresses how hard it is to start a nothing and turn it into something. You start with zero and you get to one. That's the hardest thing you can do.

Although it’s not my favorite book it’s a good way to understand the mentality of this industry and get into the swings of things.

Zero To One is a great book. I learned a lot reading it.

When a risk taker writes a book, read it. In the case of Peter Thiel, read it twice. Or, to be safe, three times. This is a classic.

Zero to One - startup classic

[I'd recommend] The Lean Startup by Eric Ries, Business Model Generation by Alexander Osterwalder and Yves Pigneur and Zero to One by Peter Thiel when they are in the starting phase of a business that needs to validate its business model.

A few books had affected how I run the company [...] Zero to One.
