From zero to one! Notes on startups, or How to create the future | Peter Thiel, Blake Masters

The book From Zero to One: Notes on Startups or How to Create the Future is Peter Thiel's lecture course he gave to students at Stanford University in 2012. These lectures became popular off campus and were published in the New York Times Magazine. Blake Masters, one of the course's most avid listeners, organized his lecture notes and posted them online, causing an internet sensation. Based on these materials, a book was published, which Blake Masters became the editor.

This book will be useful for entrepreneurs, top managers and anyone who wants to implement new business ideas and change the world.

"Zero to One" is a starting mechanism for those who want to think in the categories of startups and create new things instead of copying known templates. The authors argue that when creating something new, we step from 0 to 1, which is more significant than adding something to what already exists.
