“Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future” By Peter Thiel Review

If you want to build a better future, you must believe in secrets. 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. 

To be fully honest I wanted to read this book for couple of years now, and I finally got the chance to do so. And after reading this book, I couldn’t help myself to put it as one of my favourite business books. 

This book is very enjoyable, interesting, knowledgeable and very easy to read. I read it one sitting which shows that its a really quick read. 

You will learn a lot from it. However some of the things might not go 100% with you but you will still learn at least something. 

The author gives us many good insights like “A great founder can bring out the best work from everybody at his company. But also many more which will make you think about a think or two. 

The writing style is very simple, which means that everyone will understand it. No matter if its a 15-year-old reading this book or a 60-year-old. The language is very easy, and it also has a lot of diagrams.

This book isn’t only a “how-to start a start-up” but this book also tells us how to survive the start-up phase of your company and make it one of the biggest companies in the world.

Even if you aren’t planning to start a company or a start-up this book is still worth reading, because it gives us insight on how companies like Apple, Google and Amazon went from small companies which no one really knew to being the biggest companies in the world.

I Give This Book 5 / 5
