Summary

Zero to oneNie bedzie nastepnego Billa Gatesa, ktory stworzy system operacyjny。 Kolejni Larry Page czy Siergiej Brin nie wymysla wyszukiwarki。 Jeszcze jeden Mark Zuckerberg nie zaproponuje serwisu spolecznosciowego。 Jezeli kopiujesz tych ludzi, to znaczy, ze niczego od nich sie nie nauczyles。\n[ze Wstepu]\n\Zero to One\" jest ksiazka, wynikajaca z doswiadczen autora, o tym, jak budowac firmy oparte na zupelnie nowych pomyslach, jak zamiast powielac w nieskonczonosc istniejace rozwiazania, tworzyc cos z niczego, przechodzic od zera do jednego。\nI chociaz nie ma formuly gwarantujacej sukces, bo kazda innowacja jest unikalna, to ksiazka ta wyznacza kierunek myslenia o prawdziwej przedsiebiorczosci。 Daje czytelne wskazowki i nieszablonowe rady。 Pokazuje, ze ludzie sukcesu potrafia dostrzec wartosc w nieoczekiwanych miejscach i ze technologia jest cudem, gdyz za jej pomoca mozemy osiagac wiecej za mniej, dzieki czemu nasze mozliwosci wchodza na wyzszy poziom。\n"

Although I have no plans to join/create a start-up, I found this book to have a lot of great nuggets everyone can apply to their life (i。e, focusing on themselves/their own goals, the ires of competition, and how each moment only happens once, so to make use of it and not waste the opportunity it brings)。 Overall, it’s always interesting to read from the minds of truly genius people。

I enjoyed parts of this book and disliked others。 My interest waned a bit towards the middle of it though it picked up again in the last few chapters。 Peter Thiel definitely has some unique insights but I'm getting a bit tired of advice from billionaires however。 At this point I would rather read books written by and for mortals like myself :) I enjoyed parts of this book and disliked others。 My interest waned a bit towards the middle of it though it picked up again in the last few chapters。 Peter Thiel definitely has some unique insights but I'm getting a bit tired of advice from billionaires however。 At this point I would rather read books written by and for mortals like myself :) 。。。more

A practical one。 Stays in the content, rather short yet useful。

Zero to One is what is promised on the cover; notes。It's an organised compilation of notes containing studies of different startups, business theories and other relevant event updates。 The book is entirely about the working behind the success (and failure) of businesses。For someone who wants to move from zero to that ONEth step, to found a startup, this book could serve as the reality checklist。 Zero to One is what is promised on the cover; notes。It's an organised compilation of notes containing studies of different startups, business theories and other relevant event updates。 The book is entirely about the working behind the success (and failure) of businesses。For someone who wants to move from zero to that ONEth step, to found a startup, this book could serve as the reality checklist。 。。。more

"What valuable company is no one else building?" This book knocks it out of the park, with its contrarian, optimistic and definitive thesis towards creating long term value in the world。 Emphasis on Innovation driven Monopoly capitalism over Competition, with acknowledgement of the underlying power laws makes this book stand out。 "What valuable company is no one else building?"

The book was mainly about how important are monopolies and what secrets they have behind their multy billion companies。

This is one of the books that keeps you turning the pages but if you don’t like to dig deeper into yourself and can’t bear the thought that in order to get to the top of the mountain you will fall a number of times then you will keep looking for others to blame or tha others hassle it easy you will miss the teachings of the book

Though this book is more about Peter Thiel's point of view and his experience with the "PayPal Mafia", many sections are familiar to what I learned and believed。 Also, I like the way it was written: clear and straightforward。From "0 to 1" here not only means to start from 0 but also means to become a kind of "monopoly" by offering unique product that no other competitors in the market can follow you。 At the end of the day, it does not matter whether you entered the market earliest or not - what Though this book is more about Peter Thiel's point of view and his experience with the "PayPal Mafia", many sections are familiar to what I learned and believed。 Also, I like the way it was written: clear and straightforward。From "0 to 1" here not only means to start from 0 but also means to become a kind of "monopoly" by offering unique product that no other competitors in the market can follow you。 At the end of the day, it does not matter whether you entered the market earliest or not - what is more important is that you can last in the market until the end。 。。。more

A must read。 But maybe not for everyone。 It can give a different perspective on startups!

Zero to one is one of those books I would reread again n again like Potter or lotr。 It's pretty insightful and sheds light on many microevents which might not be understood otherwise。 Peter theil starts the with a bold statement。 We cannot learn from the success of current top successful ppl。 Bill gates, Steve jobs or any current leaders。 Supported by his reasoning that the premise of their success journey is irrelevant today。 Hence we cannot expect same success by following their path。One of th Zero to one is one of those books I would reread again n again like Potter or lotr。 It's pretty insightful and sheds light on many microevents which might not be understood otherwise。 Peter theil starts the with a bold statement。 We cannot learn from the success of current top successful ppl。 Bill gates, Steve jobs or any current leaders。 Supported by his reasoning that the premise of their success journey is irrelevant today。 Hence we cannot expect same success by following their path。One of the most insightful this is his classification of generations and nations using how they see the future。 A perpetual optimist and a perpetual optimist。He remarks that the whole world sees china as a successful nation except for china。 It seems that they are perpetual pessimistic nation。 Hence they work relentlessly and plan meticulously。 While post cold war USA is perpetually optimistic hence over investment in future。 China's future might be secure but current life is miserable。 USA future is doubtful (dot。com bubble, real-estate bubble and more to come) but current life is way better。 He hints moderation is seen in European life where they react to things as they come。A perpetual optimistic view is the reason y so many scams r done today。。。 This view encourages ppl to invest more on future, the excessive fund accumulation by banks makes them to make lavish plans sponsoring risky businesses and this environment breeds scammers。 Hence malya and other scammers。 Coz india shifted from perpetual pessimistic to perpetual optimistic nation。 Poverty porn to diligent workforce。 。。。more

Short and to the point。 This book wastes no time flourishing language or bringing in unnecessary prose。 It's a concise manual on one man's experience and advice on how to create a particular life。 There are great lessons to be taken out of this book but also some self delusions of grandeur。 If you are able to separate the two, you will get many benefits from this text。 But take it at face value。 Don't try to debate with the book because the author is very set in his ways。 It's not perfect but it Short and to the point。 This book wastes no time flourishing language or bringing in unnecessary prose。 It's a concise manual on one man's experience and advice on how to create a particular life。 There are great lessons to be taken out of this book but also some self delusions of grandeur。 If you are able to separate the two, you will get many benefits from this text。 But take it at face value。 Don't try to debate with the book because the author is very set in his ways。 It's not perfect but it is good, almost even great!

Some good thoughts to consider regarding what makes or breaks a startup。 The last chapter is weird to read, which is a shame as it rounds off the book somewhat suddenly awkwardly。 Definitely some valuable thoughts in the different chapters, although at times very briefly examined。

There is no question Peter Thiel has unique experiences to share when it comes to building startups。 Unfortunately, this isn't that book。 The order, organization, and even some of the topics are illogical。 He mixes really good advice, like 'better to be the only player in a small market than a small player in a very large market', with strange side advice。 You just roll your eyes when he explains that they rejected all tech proposals but people in suits because 'real engineers wear t-shirts, eve There is no question Peter Thiel has unique experiences to share when it comes to building startups。 Unfortunately, this isn't that book。 The order, organization, and even some of the topics are illogical。 He mixes really good advice, like 'better to be the only player in a small market than a small player in a very large market', with strange side advice。 You just roll your eyes when he explains that they rejected all tech proposals but people in suits because 'real engineers wear t-shirts, even when seeking millions in funding。You can also tell he views himself as more philosopher than businessman, which is why he goes on pointless segues about 'the singularity。' Several chapters seem to have no suggestions or takeaways, like his chapter on whether the best CEOs are all eccentric。This book has a few amazing points, so you will probably have to read it eventually, but start with a book that started as a book rather than a cobbled together lecture series。 。。。more

I'd strongly recommend anyone who wants to startup(or is actively working towards) to read this book。 Thiel lays out a good framework for coming up with ideas/problems to pursue, key parameters to increase of setting yourself up for success and understanding the workings of the ecosystem when it comes to startups(mostly digital tech startups)。 There is a bit of Thiel's perspective on the history and philosophy included, which I didn't find relevant to the subject of the book but was a good read I'd strongly recommend anyone who wants to startup(or is actively working towards) to read this book。 Thiel lays out a good framework for coming up with ideas/problems to pursue, key parameters to increase of setting yourself up for success and understanding the workings of the ecosystem when it comes to startups(mostly digital tech startups)。 There is a bit of Thiel's perspective on the history and philosophy included, which I didn't find relevant to the subject of the book but was a good read nevertheless。 Chapters 4,5,7-11 seemed to have the most valuable insights。 Quick and easy read。 。。。more
