“Zero to One” by Peter Thiel is a groundbreaking business book that explores the concept of creating innovative and successful startups in a world where many businesses merely imitate existing models. Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal and an early investor in Facebook, provides valuable insights into entrepreneurship and innovation.

The central premise of the book is the idea of moving from “zero to one,” which means creating something entirely new and unique rather than copying what already exists (“one to n”). Thiel emphasizes the importance of developing monopoly-like characteristics within a business, as monopolies can dominate markets and generate long-term profits.
