Peter Thiel is an entrepreneur and investor. He started PayPal in 1998, led it as CEO, and took it public in 2002, defining a new era of fast and secure online commerce. In 2004 he made the first outside investment in Facebook, where he serves as a director. The same year he launched Palantir Technologies, a software company that harnesses computers to empower human analysts in fields like national security and global finance. He has provided early funding for LinkedIn, Yelp, and dozens of successful technology startups, many run by former colleagues who have been dubbed the “PayPal Mafia.” He is a partner at Founders Fund, a Silicon Valley venture capital firm that has funded companies like SpaceX and Airbnb. He started the Thiel Fellowship, which ignited a national debate by encouraging young people to put learning before schooling, and he leads the Thiel Foundation, which works to advance technological progress and long- term thinking about the future.
Blake Masters was a student at Stanford Law School in 2012 when his detailed notes on Peter’s class “Computer Science 183: Startup” became an internet sensation. He went on to co-found Judicata, a legal research technology startup.
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.
Thiel begins with the contrarian premise that we live in an age of technological stagnation, even if we’re too distracted by shiny mobile devices to notice. Information technology has improved rapidly, but there is no reason why progress should be limited to computers or Silicon Valley. Progress can be achieved in any industry or area of business. It comes from the most important skill that every leader must master: learning to think for yourself.
Doing what someone else already knows how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. But when you do something new, you go from 0 to 1. The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. Tomorrow’s champions will not win by competing ruthlessly in today’s marketplace. They will escape competition altogether, because their businesses will be unique.
Zero to One presents at once an optimistic view of the future of progress in America and a new way of thinking about innovation: it starts by learning to ask the questions that lead you to find value in unexpected places.

评分 评分反主流 90年代的硅谷劫难让一些企业家总结了一些道理: 1-循序渐进 不能沉溺在宏大愿景里,否则会让泡沫膨胀,自称可以成大事的人都不可信,因为心存改变世界雄心的人,通常要更加谦逊。小幅度循序渐进地成长,是安全前进的唯一道路。 2-保持精简和灵活性 不要事事都严格计划,...
评分只看了全书的1-5章,觉得深度一般,不如Paul Graham的文章写得有意思。 1. 怎么面对竞争?为什么要竞争? 这是作者最不同的一点,旗帜鲜明的反对“竞争”。因为竞争其实意味着是在做已经存在的事情,而不是全新、能够带来大改变的东西。而且竞争意味着多方的消耗战,可能偏离...
我觉得不管是文风上,还是理念上,我都不是那么认同他,但是我的意思不是说他说错了。
评分当睡前读物读的,单词简单,道理易懂,虽然不是什么创业者,但是可以打开以下视野,比如书里写的“definite optimism”,对中国人的概括极为精辟,还是值得一看的,重点是可以练英语哈哈~~
