## Description

Principles: Life and Work [Dalio, Ray] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Principles: Life and Work

Review: What's missing from the interviews, headlines, story lines, and universal coverage of Dalio’s every move is his true generosity. - "Principles" is a tome of tried and true methods that lead ultimately to desired outcomes. Mr. Dalio transcribes in precise detail his thoughts, actions, intentions, and experiences over the past four decades and liberally shares his knowledge to readers. "Principles" is worth its weight in gold. Ray Dalio eloquently expresses what most successful people learn over time: pain is the ingredient that leads to growth and evolution. He opines on how pain itself is a catalyst not only to personal evolution, but it is a gateway to problem solving. Dalio attacks problem solving by sorting out the issue, triangulating the issue with "believable people" and examining it both up close and as an observer. His above the fray manner in observing ones actions, skills, efforts, deficiencies, and the like, is at the next level; it is a better way. This observation discipline is sure to enable human beings to examine themselves thoroughly, objectively and more accurately. Mr. Dalio's actions speak volumes of his vision by implementing this higher realm of open-minded personal self-examination throughout the Bridgewater organization. "Principles" is a life map. Mr. Dalio expresses the need for tools and protocols in order to make better decisions. "Principles" is such a tool; it is also a weapon to survive and flourish. I believe that anyone who studies and implements these principles will reap the benefits. Dalio has been painstaking about getting it right, which is a testimony to his determination and grit. I could go on endlessly discussing the contents and merits of this book. "Principles" is a must read for business owners, senior managers, executives, and money managers. "Principles" is written in such a manner that Dalio's message is understandable to anyone. The book is a treasure trove of information that I will reread, look to, study, digest, and implement. Lastly, Mr. Dalio's financial achievements and philanthropy are well documented. What's missing from the interviews, headlines, story lines, and universal coverage of Dalio’s every move is his true generosity. Ray's effort to convey his success formula to money managers, such as myself, and society at large is magnanimous. Mr. Dalio, I have written a book titled "Financial Fitness: The Journey from Wall Street to Badwater 135" that is on desertcart and will be rolled out officially in two weeks. In the book I share the road I've taken to becoming financially and physically fit as a hardworking investment professional and endurance athlete. I hope you will read my book, as I have yours. --William "Chip" Corley

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty good if you look at it as a 295 page book with a 257 page appendix
*by C***. on March 21, 2018*

I usually listen to audiobooks on business and end up satisfied with the format. After listening to the audiobook I skim the physical copy and re-read anything that stands out or that I especially want to remember. I keep the physical copy for reference later. The majority of the time this works very well. Principles: Life & Work is not one of those times. The physical book is a must have and vastly superior for a number of reasons. Principles: Life & Work is actually three books in one. The first section goes into Ray Dalio's history and works well as an audiobook. It reminded me a lot of the opening to Bill Browder's Red Notice. Both men got lucky early on with success, had big falls and then learned from their mistakes and turned things around through perseverance. It is hard to empathize or relate with either man from these stories, but it reminds us that they are human. The reviews that mention bloviating, self-indulgent and egotistic are not entirely wrong. It would be hard to recommend this book on this section alone. The second section of the book goes into life principles and also works OK as an audiobook. This section contains an anecdote on Ray's experience with doctors that is worth the price of the book alone. Pages 193-195 have this story if you give up on the book before getting there. I wish there were more stories like that to bring the principles to life. Unfortunately a lot of the principles don’t have this level of support. If you’re familiar with writers such as Adam Grant, Daniel Kahneman and Charles Duhigg the limited exposition provided for many of the life principles is wasted time. The third section on work principles is ROUGH to get through as an audiobook. The are a lot of principles in this section that are in many cases hard to relate to unless you have experience in senior leadership at a company. There is also repetition (from the prior sections and within this section), limited anecdotes/support and weak organization. I would skip it entirely if you’re listening to the audiobook or not currently acting as a director or higher in an organization. The reason the physical book is so much better is that it contains a section (pages 272-295) that just lists the principles themselves in outline format. This is the perfect format for this book overall. Reading the list of life principles after that section serves as a great reminder and summary. It is also helpful if you got bored or disinterested due to repetition of information from other sources. That format is also the perfect way to start the work principles. You can skim them and only jump into the work principles you find relevant. The book works much better as a 295 page book w/ a 257 page appendix. The outlines are easy to read as they are and function as a table of contents with page numbers on them.
