Zero to One (full audio book) - Peter thiel

Highlights : The illustrations are similar to original CS183 notes by Blakemasters but done in a better way which looks more professional. I'm talking about the diagrams and visual illustrations in the chapters like "Follow the money", "The mechanics of Mafia", "The ideology of competition", "Last mover advantage" etc. First two chapters, "The challenge of the future" and "Party like it's 1999" are overviews of dot com bust and whether innovation is stagnating etc. I don't think everyone will be interested in. Personally I was fairly uncaring abut whether innovation is stagnating or not because I don't have any interest in getting any particular nation or government forward. But Thiel has that invested interest since he's into politics, therefore people who are interested in macro style overviews should read it. Third, Fourth and Fifth chapters which are "All happy companies are different", "The ideology of competition", "Last mover advantage" has the main themes of the book such that monopolies are unique companies with distinct competitive advantage and monopolies add more value to the word and so we should build more monopoly type companies. Basically it's better to read the book to get the complete idea. He presents is argument in a concise manner. "You are not a lottery ticket'', " Follow the money" aka sixth and seventh chapters set the framework for the following eighth chapter "Secrets". The main idea is basically that most people don't try to find out unique competitive advantage but it's better if we try it because the companies that makes the most profit create 'extremely disproportionate' returns than the one's which are just ''good''. Ninth chapter "Foundations" is basically set on the some crucial matters such as founder relationship, equity sharing, how to compensate people etc. Tenth and eleventh chapter are the most important chapters in my opinion because they are highlighting sales and distribution, why its' important and how to do it properly. Those are named "The mechanics of Mafia" and "If you build it, will they come?" It also shows the difference between consumer centric companies which focus more on marketing and complex sales driven companies which focus more on making 'large' deals one or two times per year. I believe knowing the difference is important. Twelfth and thirteenth chapter doesn't have much correlation with the other chapters because they talk about markets instead of specific companies and briefly touches AI. I believe it's possible to just read through them independently if anyone's interested. Those are named "Man and Machine'' and "Seeing Green". They focus on AI and cleantech respectively. Fourteenth chapter is the granddaddy of all chapters, "The Founders Paradox", not only because it's probably correct but also because Thiel jabs at some cult figures and celebrities. If anyone else hit some famous celebrities at once, they would be in problems. But what I like most about this chapter is that even though he's drawing his theory on founders by observation and philosophy, social psychology probably also supports his ideas. I liked his idea that most successful founders are both 'insiders and outsiders' and there's a celebrity life-cycle going on where we take people to fame and later blame them if things go wrong.
