Peter Thiel is the founder of PayPal. He offers advice on new technology and making a disruptive businesses.
Primarily, he shows you how to create a business that will become a monopoly.
He is not talking about a government sponsored monopoly but a business that is the only one (from zero to one) controlling the market that nobody else can get into. Think Google, Facebook, and Paypal.
These are the types of companies I want to work with – and the ones that will create the new jobs.
But even if you work for a company that is not disruptive or a market monopoly, this book can help you create your own monopoly within your skills and specialty. In short, offer them something no one else does or can.
I listened to it during three good workout sessions on Audible.
