Principles: Life and Work
by Ray Dalio
A book by billionaire investor and hedge fund manager, Ray Dalio, wherein he shares principles that have guided his personal and professional life.
The book is divided into 3 parts: an autobiographical section where Dalio narrates "where he is coming from", Life Principles - a general guide to living well and Work Principles, which is essentially an application of the Life Principles to organisations.
The first 2 parts are, unfortunately, vastly more interesting than the final one. Some of the notable ideas are those of radical honesty, realising which stage of life you're in, being relentless in finding out what is true, pain+reflection = progress and the idea to focus on your goals and not how you look to other people.
Although I didn't agree with everything (and in fact disagreed quite strongly with some ideas), Principles is laden with wisdom. This is the type of book that demands revisiting regularly.
