What I Liked

This book is quiet the gem. I’ve been following Ray Dalio for some time now. He’s constantly on CNBC and other financial programs, and has some good YouTube videos about basic economic concepts. There was lots that I liked about this book. I constantly kept tweeting words that inspired me that Ray Dalio used throughout his book. I really liked how Dalio real-world examples of the principles explained in his book. He founded Bridgewater, a hedge fund company, and constantly references how the principles helped him overcome certain situations in the workplace. Some principles have even helped Dalio personally. He doesn’t open up too much in the book about his personal life, but he does tell a few stories and how we was able to navigate through them.

What I Disliked

Towards the end of the book the principles can start to get a bit repetitive and conflicting in a few areas, but not many. I wished Ray Dalio had talked a little more about how he navigated through the various financial crisis he’s had to deal with. The book definitely left me wanting to know more, and study these crises in more depth.

Whom would I recommend this book to?

Anyone with asperations of doing better in their current workplace. They’re lots of ideas and tools that Dalio provides that can be implemented right away in your workplace.
