Description
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.

The first half of the book is really good with observations on the characteristics of monopolies and perfect competition. Even the long dead Adam Smith could learn a thing or two about economics by reading this book.

Peter Thiel has done a good job at outlining what needs to happen if one were to start a start-up and dominate the space.
Talks about various political/economical states and where you need to be to get to where/what you want.

Few business books that you can read through without getting lost or heavy headed. this one moves really fast because it is grounded in practical experience and common sense. The lessons are equally applicable to someone working in a large corporate environment on their own projects.

First the book is a spectacular to read for a person who wants and thinks to be different…. Who is a sqaure peg in a round hole, who is crazy enough to change the world, and i would give 5 stars but you didn’t send bookmark with book.,

This is one of those must-read books for everyone, especially for Startups and Entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneurship cannot be taught, but this book does put light on the fundamentals of starting a business.
