Description of Zero to One by Peter Thiel ePub

“Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future” is an attractive book for entrepreneurs of all stripes, especially for those who want to change the world with their dream. Peter Thiel is the author of this classic book. Peter is an extraordinarily wealthy man. He is a contrarian. Throughout Peter Thiel’s philosophy hinged on key implications of intelligent design. Peter knows that human intention is the most powerful force in our world. In other words, intelligent design. The trajectory of progress he traces depends on individuals’ planning and following out their unique design. He looks at this on a grand scale with today’s multimillion-dollar software and technology companies. But his lesson is to try for all aspects of life. The more we live principled and purposefully the better our lives will be. The writing is clear, easy to follow even for a person who is not in the business, and very educated. The book is original and is a classic. Thiel is smart and ingenious and has written a useful map for future entrepreneurs. In Zero to One, Peter Thiel talks about how small emerging companies/and investors need to take the opposite approach. In simple terms, aim for a monopoly, competition is for losers. Monopolies have far greater profits, pricing power, and the ability to think long-term. For small companies like microcaps to be a monopoly they need to focus on dominating a small market that is expanding and then further grows into other complementary markets. “Capitalism is premised on the accumulation of capital, but under perfect competition, all profits get competed away.” When a company dominates a market (large or small) it is much more profitable and valuable than one owning 1% of a large competitive market. Reading this book to understand those differences and how they may change the way you think, is the highest and best use of your time. This book is Thiel telling you how he sees the world. The tone can be a bit dismissive, egotistical and illustrates some hubris, particularly as it comes to ideas related to founders and startup companies. The reader will have to look beyond that to see the ideas and frameworks behind the observations and assertions.

This book contains notes, thoughts, and discussions of the world presented in a personal and first-person view. The discussion at the end The Founder’s Paradox is perhaps the weakest part of the book as Thiel compares different types of founders and their fortunes. Thiel’s respect and admiration for Tesla’s Musk gets a little thick. The booklets you look inside of his mind, to see the way someone thinks differently about a world we all think we understand. We do not need to think like Thiel, but we can benefit from testing our thoughts and plans against some of the ways you look at the world. Thiel’s observations regarding seeing things like the union between two forces rather than the intersection were particularly powerful, as were observations about monopoly and size. These ideas and your ability to apply them make this a great book for business thinkers, strategists, and leaders. Chapters about competition, his analysis of the Green “bubble” and money are all well worth reading and considering. Overall, we highly recommended particularly for strategists, executives and people looking to start something new. If you are stuck in old ways of thinking, then Zero to One will give you some thoughts to shake them loose. So if you are committed to improving the world through technology, you should read this book.
