So heart wrenching and a beautifully depicted reality of how guilt can create truth and kindness. Although this book took me a but over a year to actually complete, I’d still recall it as a well written story

Acquired some valuable quotes and guidelines to follow to when creating a long-lasting monopoly of a company although I think it could have been condensed to a decent sized blog post. Felt like it was filled with a ton of unnecessary word fluff in order to ‘inspire’ the reader… even though I’m fairly certain that whoever picked up this book already has the desire to accomplish something grand of the sort.

Peter Thiel is a master of his own craft, lover of Elon Musk, and yet a mediocre writer. I will put this book along with the other business self-help books written by powerful white men who write to mostly talk about themselves without actually getting to the point.
