Principles

Ray Dalio

This book is a collection of principles that Daleo has collected over his life. It is a high level view of principles, meaning, rather than a book that tells you to ('do this hack to...') sparks your own thoughts which are more applicable to your unique situation.

One is, don't worry about looking good, worry about achieving your goals. Your reputation will serve itself.

Another is, everything looks bigger closer up. Step back, assess and realise that what is in front of you. Have a wholeistic view.

In relationships with others, your principles and their principles will determine how you interact. People who have shared values and principles get along. People who don’t will suffer.
