My One and Only Book

My one and only book is Peter Thiel's 'Zero to One'

Why? Well, I've lived in several different countries and cities, so only owning one book makes moving easier!

But let's be honest: Most "startup wisdom" is recycled garbage.

Thiel doesn't care about your growth hacks, pitch deck template, or fundraising strategy.

He asks what makes most founders uncomfortable: "What valuable company is nobody building?"

Three brutal truths from this book that nobody wants to admit:

Your "unique" startup probably isn't. If you can't answer "What important truth do very few people agree with you on?"—you're just another lemming.

- Competition is for suckers. While you're celebrating beating competitors by 10%, true innovators build monopolies where competition is irrelevant.

- The future won't build itself. The world is full of indefinite optimists waiting for things to get better. Meanwhile, definite optimists are creating that future.

This book isn't comfortable.

It's not supportive.

It doesn't validate your current approach.

And that's exactly why every founder needs to read it.
