Zero to One

“Doing what we already know how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. But every time we create something new, we go from 0 to 1."

Recently I read Zero to One by Peter Thiel with Blake Masters.  This book is geared for entrepreneurs who are starting a company.  I am definitely not trying to start a business but it was recommended to me in regards to innovation so I thought I would give it a try.  I was a little put off by Peter Thiel's tone of a know-it-all but there were small bits to take away from the book.  It emphasizes learning to think for yourself and being unique.  Improving upon something that's is already being done isn't innovative; you have to do something entirely different.  This is a good reminder for anyone is business.
