Summary: Principles – Life and Work by Ray Dalio (Management, Hedge Fund, Entrepreneurship, Self Improvement)

Note: This is a SUMMARY of Ray Dalio's bestseller, Principles: Life & Work Principles became a #1 New York Times Bestseller for very specific reasons… Ray Dalio was raised in a middle-class family in Long Island, NY and later became one of the 100 wealthiest people in the world (according to Forbes). He found Bridgewater Associates out of his two-bedroom apartment and grew it to become the world’s most successful hedge fund managing over $160 billion in assets. Bridgewater is renown for their policies of radical transparency and open-mindedness. If you work there, you're always expected to say what you think and be brutally honest, no matter your seniority. It’s a unique company culture, and it runs on the Principles discussed in this book. These simple but profound Principles took 40 years to perfect. They were refined and evolved over that time. Each time Dalio and his partners encountered a new problem or challenge, they tried to find the underlying principle at work and tried to learn from their pain and struggle. Dalio has been called the “Da Vinci” of investing, but his knowledge base spreads much wider than the world economy. He is a bold and independent thinker with unusual and refreshingly grounded ideas on how to manage and grow a successful company as well as on how to live a fuller life. Who will benefit from this book? Dalio's principles will inspire any would-be entrepreneur and anyone who wants to find practical ways to make better decisions, deal with reality, and improve his or her lot in life. His no-nonsense, logical, and fire-tested strategies are useful to improve your ability to study, think clearly, and get ahead in business, as well as any other sphere of your life.
