A review by nadia
The Fund: Ray Dalio, Bridgewater Associates, and the Unraveling of a Wall Street Legend by Rob Copeland

informative medium-paced

4.0

Ray Dalio's Principles was recommended to me about a decade ago and I only finally started reading it 6 months ago after finding a nice hardback edition in the bookstore. And I'm still reading it mainly because I've been taking notes...

...and well, when I saw that this book existed — I think I may have gasped when I saw it online  — I had to check it out. 😅

There were a few things I had been sceptical about in Principles and it was interesting and validating to see just how right I was in certain cases.

Both (very) surprised and not surprised about what's detailed in this book. There were several intriguing and tense "behind-the-scenes at Bridgewater" stories and the audiobook narration was very good. Copeland himself did a great job of making you remember who each person was as the story progressed, which is great as losing track of who's who is often a point of difficulty in books like these.

I'm still going to finish Principles, but with an even bigger grain of salt than the one I had cultivated on my own. 😅
