I got the same impression.

The world rewards non-conformists deeply if you do it right.

Doing it right is mostly finding something that contributes value to the world. A non-conformist collecting toothpicks? Not so much.

Zero-to-one is a great guide for non-conformists. This, not so much.

"Zero-to-one is a great guide for non-conformists."

Is that a book or an article? Never heard of it. Care to give a pointer?

But in all seriousness, it looks like it's a book by "venture capitalist, PayPal co-founder, and early Facebook investor Peter Thiel along with Blake Masters". If it's an article, it isn't on the first page of DDG or google.

The book started out as lectures notes for a university course on startups taught by Thiel. You can find the original notes at http://blakemasters.com/peter-thiels-cs183-startup. There is also an EPUB version available from https://stanfy.com/blog/epub-version-of-peter-thiel-lectures....

Its a book by Peter Thiel.
