Reactions:
“This book is itself contrarian in comparison to all other startup books out there. It does an amazing job of forcing you to destroy the foundations upon which you’ve built so many of your assumptions in the startup world, thereby revealing the truth of how to build something valuable in a world of copy & paste entrepreneurship” – Rob Philips
“Zero to One is a refreshingly honest and surprisingly comprehensive and intellectually provocative read. It is hard to pigeonhole it as falling in to any one genre or fitting any one type of reader. To be sure, it is primarily about and directed toward the creation of “start-ups,” loosely defined. But as one reads the book, it’s hard to not to take its lessons and try to apply to them more broadly to business, life, and civic culture in general. Thiel has always been known as somewhat of a philosopher, and his lessons about how to build a start-up (themselves very instructive) quickly bleed into deeper questions about society and how our future can or should look.” – Collin Wedel
“Peter Thiel is a world-class pragmatist who is determined to understand what works, what doesn’t, and why. His final remarks are an affirmation of what is possible, indeed imperative, not only in business but throughout the scope and depth of humanity: “Our task today is to find singular ways to create the new things that will make the future not just different, but butter – to go from 0 to 1. The essential first step is to think for yourself. Only by seeing our world anew, as fresh and strange as it was to the ancients who saw it first, can we both re-create it and preserve it for the future” – Robert Morris
“Zero to one is one of three books that I recommend every entrepreneur and investor read, it is brilliant and full of provocative ideas. Importantly, it’s also short enough to consume in one sitting, and in the months following reading it, I’ve found several practical applications for the ideas it left rattling around my head. If you’re in tech or business, this is a must read. If you’re casually interested in how innovation works, I think this is very likely to be worth your time.” – Tyler Willis
“Zero to One has a variable scope and can feel like multiple books in one. It looks at economics, globalization, artificial intelligence, and historical trends along with founder characteristics and the qualities of great salespeople. In some areas, I would have liked to see more connection between micro and macro. Others were strongly linked, but went into slightly less depth. The shifting balance isn’t that big of a deal, especially if you find variety refreshing.” – David Landau
