Enlightening. The author is a down-to-earth philosopher in the business world. He is not here to tell you the dry principles of how to make your business successful, but to enlighten you to embrace the challenge and create a new future. Achieving 1 to N is a boring repetition but starting from 0 to 1 is a milestone! My words fail and try by yourself!

Awesome. Loved reading this book. For those looking to think differently about the world and tech in general. Highly recommend

Don’t miss it!!!. I just read two pages and totally fell for it.

Entrepreneurs, Start-ups, & Innovators, please be advised!. I'm not going to say that this book is like the "New Testament" for Entrepreneurs or that it's brain (Thiel) is the "Jesus" whose scriptures finally give us a psychology we can use to believe in ourselves when the tides of doubt and ambiguity of the global economy come rolling in. I'm not going say that, because it's probably, at least, a bit of an overestimate even if it's how I feel. All considered, it is how I feel and I guess I already said it. I suppose another analogy I could offer is this: When those tides come rolling in and your ideas/ingenuity are fighting for their life just to keep treading, you should refer to this book. With it, your ideas/ingenuity and your perception of the world will gain the power, if I may, to walk on water. If you consider yourself an entrepreneur or innovator, please be advised! A newer, higher vantage point has been found. It is challenging and it is liberating. It is Zero to One.

Trash. 🎵 All that hatin it won’t work all that hating it won’t work, I got them good prices for cheap they be really snortin work 🎵

Good book, Thiel has crafted himself a unique world view. Good book, Thiel has crafted himself a unique world view. In particular, I am fascinated by how he characterizes the state of the US conscience today as "Indefinite Optimism". From that discussion i think his main point is that we control our future. It's a subtle argument, but very important nonetheless. Thiel brings to light all the uncertainty of the future and the different ways people react to it. Only we can determine our future.

Great book!. One of the great books I have read. Highly recommended for entrepreneurs and businesses owners.

Can't wait to write a review. Just learned about this book on Bloomberg West. And even before reading it, just by watching a segment of his interview with Emily Chang, I can tell how much this will be helpful to all wannabe startpreneurs out there, like me. I just can't wait to enjoy it.

Great book!. Peter - you're the man!

Must Read. Peter is truly visionary.

Love it. Really full of ideas and intuitions to make sense of our world

Eye Opener. A great perspective and helps understand the relations and people you choose to be around determines a lot about the future.

Building the Future: A Manifesto. A main theme in the book is thinking for yourself and looking at the world from first principles. Only then will you be able to see undiscovered secrets (opportunities) in nature or in people to create a company that has no competition and can capture all the value of a market. Thiel goes into great depth and did a great job at explaining the correct mindset entrepreneurs must be in to create not only the next SpaceX, Facebook, and Google, but save the world as well. I cannot stress this enough, do not start or fund a business before reading this book.

Excellent and inspiring. Excellent book and great inspiration for starting a new business

Good read. I enjoyed this book. It provoked thought and gave me a new perspective on forward thinking.

Lit. Reading this book has made me realize the many different ways to view the world of entrepreneurs. I have a new sense of optimism and few wiser than before. Thanks for such a wonderful book.

Tech Ventures: View from a Different Lens. In this engaging read, Thiel provides a unique overview on forces that allow for creation — and success — of a technology venture. A proclaimed contrarian, Thiel shows how seemingly contrarian views often fail to meet that very definition. A must read for every technology founder or enthusiast.

Future Generations will not have the luxury of not having been forewarned.”. This book delivers intelligent, actionable value for business & life.

Strong points to consider for any would be founder. Thiel is very opinionated and ready to guide the next startup looking to become a unicorn. The last couple chapters really lagged though.

Great insight into successful business. I enjoyed the book thoroughly. It gave me a greater understanding about how successful businesses arise. They don't arise overnight. The thought process and strategy is beautifully described by the author.

Great Book!. A must read for anyone thinking about starting their own tech company.

From Zero to One. I thought the book hit on some interesting points, by pulling from personal experiences of the author, but it didn't quite provide the information about running a startup that I was looking for.

Inspiring. Before reading this book, I had never heard of Peter Thiel. After reading this book, I know who is one of the leading thinkers in America. Peter confirmed for me what I already knew. Making a better widget is not the answer, but rather imaging something that no one else has imagined and make that. Microsoft and Samsung are making fatal mistakes by comparing themselves to Apple. Their CEO's need to read this book. Thanks Peter and Blake.

A reflection for big enterprise. Thiel´s approach to start ups is a reflection to big companies in finding ways to be creative and differentiated, in investing for moving from 0 to 1 moving big bureocratc structures to deliver growth

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. A great read!

It'd be nice if you would read this book, too.. The book is a quick read. It's not consistently good throughout, but I found the better insights to be very good and not just by restating common knowledge in a superior fashion.

If you don't have that extreme marrow of desire then this book may just guide you to understand how to live every moment of every day - happy! Reto Steiner -Calgary AB

Great book. This book offers a new paradigm and level of understanding that insider of Silicon Valley for 30 offers. It is very interesting how Peter makes decisions of whether to invest into a company or not. As well as how to tick the boxes of what it would take to get funded.

Singularity. It’s a deep, well crafted approach to help put the reader in control of understanding the concept of 0 to 1, and the fundamental components of defining our future and how a startup can be part of that big picture. It’s impressive, although too much focus on tech. Good stuff!

Every founder must read this book!. One of the best books I have ever read!

Better Suited for a Blog. This book reads like a series of thoughts and ideas that would have been better suited towards a blog or newsletter. While there are interesting topics and ideas brought forth, Thiel, in my opinion, does not sufficiently expand upon them, and does not leave much room for nuance. Indeed, he is very much 0 or 1, with no space in between.
