4. Zero to One: Notes Startups, or How to Build the Future by Peter Thiel
《從零到一：創(chuàng)業(yè)筆記之如何打造未來》，作者：彼得·泰爾

The following excerpt sums up the concept of Theil's book: "Doing what someone else already knows how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. But when you do something new, you go from 0 to 1."
從書中節(jié)選的這句話可以概括全書的理念：“做其他人已經(jīng)知道如何做的事情，會(huì)將世界從1帶到n，只會(huì)增加更多類似的東西。而創(chuàng)新則是從0到1的過程。”

This bestseller is geared specifically towards the startup community as it offers invaluable advice on what to consider and what to avoid before moving forward. Additionally, the author offers his philosophy on business, which helps the reader generate new ideas he or she may not have considered previously.
