Zero to One : A must read


  •  Reading great books can radically change the way you think. It helps you develop a better personality. And when it comes to great books, Peter Thiel's Zero to One is an essential read for any aspiring entrepreneur or anyone who wants to build their future.
  • Peter Thiel was the co-founder and CEO of PayPal. The people he personally mentored and worked with went on to make billion-dollar companies such as Youtube and LinkedIn. 
  • The book describes how to build a company that generates profits well into the future. To succeed, you need to build and maintain a monopoly. The book expresses everything in an entrepreneurial way but the ideas can be used by anyone who wants to build their future.

“The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. And the next Mark Zuckerberg won’t create a social network. If you are copying these guys, you aren’t learning from them.”
― Peter Thiel

There was a time when automation was a means for factory machines to do a repetitive task. But today they can drive a car, land an aircraft and trade stocks. But wait, has not automation been around for decades? What’s different this time? Our past and innovation For the longest time, humans worked in agriculture for a living.
