russelmcq's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 17%

This book was more of an autobiography than anything else; And while I appreciate Ray Dalio, it wasn't really what I was looking for.

Don't waste time on Life principles.

Appart from that, Work principles is a really interesting view on how to found/grow/manage an ultra-competitive company.

I've read only half of the book. It contains several useful ideas. But there is so much boring and common sense stuff, that it's hard to push through. The first part about author's life is meh. The second part about life principles is ok. I've decided to skip the last part about work principles, as it's mostly not applicable to my current life. Maybe I'm just not the target audience for the book, which is I guess higher management and owners of large companies.

Great book, lots of helpful info without a bunch of rambling and fluff.
