Zero to One
by Peter Thiel
Description:
The great secret of our time is that there are still uncharted frontiers to explore and new inventions to create. In Zero to One, legendary entrepreneur and investor Peter Thiel shows how we can find singular ways to create those new things.
My opinion:
An excellent book that can sharpen your entrepreneurship mindset and lead you towards great successes in life.
Peter emphasizes the pros of monopolies but fails to explain the downsides of its' impact on the economy.
Favorite quote:
“The most valuable businesses of coming decades will be built by entrepreneurs who seek to empower people rather than try to make them obsolete.”
― Peter Thiel
Key takeaways:
Failed companies fail due to their inability to escape the competition.
