About this listen

WHAT VALUABLE COMPANY IS NOBODY BUILDING?

The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. If you are copying these guys, you aren’t learning from them. It’s easier to copy a model than to make something new: doing what we already know how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. Every new creation goes from 0 to 1. This book is about how to get there.

‘Peter Thiel has built multiple breakthrough companies, and Zero to One shows how.’
ELON MUSK, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla

‘This book delivers completely new and refreshing ideas on how to create value in the world.’
MARK ZUCKERBERG, CEO of Facebook

‘When a risk taker writes a book, read it. In the case of Peter Thiel, read it twice. Or, to be safe, three times. This is a classic.’
NASSIM NICHOLAS TALEB, author of The Black Swan

Critic Reviews

Crisply written, rational and practical, Zero to One should be read not just by aspiring entrepreneurs but by anyone seeking a thoughtful alternative to the current pervasive gloom about the prospects for the world

This would be a great book for founders and founding teams. Peter lays out principles behind successful, or even revolutionary businesses like Google and Tesla. His advice is unconventional, but makes complete sense and appears like the hard truth. He lays out some fundamental questions for start-ups to answer to determine their success. Great and insightful read overall.

The narration is great as well, goes perfectly with all the serious advice that’s being given ;)

Amazing insights into creating value as a business

A very good listen for a boost of motivation. The narration is clear. The story, examples, thoughts, etc. shared are interesting. Not a lot of thought provoking content is there, but it does make you think about whether you should become a founder rather than just having a job under someone else.

Good for Motivation!
