Description: Mark Mitchell's musings on business and entrepreneurship
Principles: Life and Work by Ray Dalio
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Ray Dalio is the founder of Bridgwater Associates , one of the world’s most successful investment firms, with over $150B under management. Dalio himself has a net worth of some $17B. Principles is not, however, a book about investing; instead, it is the codification of Dalio’s beliefs about how best to live life and to structure an organization. Dalio’s mechanistic view is apparent even in the idea for the book; he apparently looks at life as more science than art, and at success as more the logical output
