Zustand nach AbeBooks: Sehr gut (Very Good). Gepflegtes, vollständiges Exemplar mit leichten Gebrauchsspuren. #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER If you want to build a better future, you must believe in secrets. The great secret of our time is that there are still uncharted frontiers to explore and new inventions to create. In Zero to One, legendary entrepreneur and investor Peter Thiel shows how we can find singular ways to create those new things. Thiel begins with the contrarian premise that we live in an age of technological stagnation, even if we?re too distracted by shiny mobile devices to notice. Information technology has improved rapidly, but there is no reason why progress should be limited to computers or Silicon Valley. Progress can be achieved in any industry or area of business. It comes from the most important skill that every leader must master: learning to think for yourself. 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. The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won?t make a search engine. Tomorrow?s champions will not win by competing ruthlessly in today?s marketplace. They will escape competition altogether, because their businesses will be unique. Zero to One presents at once an optimistic view of the future of progress in America and a new way of thinking about innovation: it starts by learning to ask the questions that lead you to find value in unexpected places.…

WHAT VALUABLE COMPANY IS NOBODY BUILDING?
The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. If you are copying these guys, you aren’t learning from them. It’s easier to copy a model than to make something new: doing what we already know how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. Every new creation goes from 0 to 1. This book is about how to get there.
‘Peter Thiel has built multiple breakthrough companies, and Zero to One shows how.’
ELON MUSK, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla
‘This book delivers completely new and refreshing ideas on how to create value in the world.’
MARK ZUCKERBERG, CEO of Facebook
‘When a risk taker writes a book, read it. In the case of Peter Thiel, read it twice. Or, to be safe, three times. This is a classic.’
NASSIM NICHOLAS TALEB, author of The Black Swan

Store description
Bücher erzählen Geschichten. Sie bringen uns auf neue Gedanken, eröffnen andere Perspektiven, vermitteln Wissen und lassen uns die Welt manchmal ein kleines Stück anders sehen. Manche unterhalten uns für ein paar Stunden, andere begleiten uns über Jahre – und einige verändern etwas. Genau dieser Gedanke steckt hinter Buchpunk. Wir sind ein unabhängiger Onlinehandel für gebrauchte Bücher und möchten dafür sorgen, dass gute Bücher nicht im Regal vergessen werden, sondern weiterwandern – von Mensch zu Mensch, von Gedanke zu Gedanke. Unser stetig wachsendes Sortiment ist so vielfältig wie die Menschen, die lesen: Romane und Krimis stehen neben Sach- und Fachbüchern, Kinder- und Jugendliteratur neben Büchern über Geschichte, Philosophie, Wirtschaft, Naturwissenschaften oder Ratgebern. Dazu kommen ältere und vergriffene Ausgaben, fremdsprachige Bücher und immer wieder Titel, nach denen man vielleicht schon lange gesucht hat – oder von denen man bis eben noch gar nicht wusste, dass man sie sucht. Bei Buchpunk verbinden wir die Idee des klassischen Gebrauchtbuchhandels mit einem modernen, sorgfältig organisierten Onlinehandel. Jedes angebotene Exemplar befindet sich tatsächlich in unserem Bestand. Wir achten auf nachvollziehbare Zustandsangaben, faire Preise, eine zuverlässige Abwicklung und einen sorgfältigen Versand. Dabei ist ein gebrauchtes Buch für uns kein Produkt zweiter Wahl. Im Gegenteil: Ein gutes Buch verliert seinen Inhalt nicht, nur weil es bereits gelesen wurde. Wissen, Ideen, Inspiration und gute Geschichten lassen sich immer wieder neu entdecken. Vielleicht finden Sie bei Buchpunk einfach Ihre nächste Lektüre. Vielleicht ein lange gesuchtes Buch. Und vielleicht eines, das eine Veränderung anstößt. Buchpunk – Bücher weiterdenken.…
