Building 2014

Zero to One

Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future

Peter Thiel

Copying what works gets you one more of it. The question that earns the book its place is the uncomfortable one: what do you believe that almost nobody agrees with, and would you actually build on it?

Lines worth keeping

  1. What important truth do very few people agree with you on?
    Peter Thiel Zero to One
  2. All happy companies are different: each one earns a monopoly by solving a unique problem. All unhappy companies are alike: they failed to escape competition.
    Peter Thiel Zero to One
  3. Brilliant thinking is rare, but courage is in even shorter supply than genius.
