giedrius 's review for:
Principles: Life and Work
by Ray Dalio
This is hands down one of the best reads this year!
The book is divided into three parts: the life story of the author, Life Principles, and Work Principles. Even though I find the first part exciting and inspiring, the actual value for me lies in the last two parts. Ray Dalio has distilled the principles from all the lessons learned through his quite extraordinary life and career and shared it to the world.
I could especially relate to work principles. While reading them, I've found some of the matching principles which I had to discover the hard way - by trial and error and came to similar conclusions, giving even more credibility to other principles from my point of view and a feeling of urgency to try and implement them.
It is very rare to find such a concentration of knowledge in one book. Having this in mind this book might be one of the most impactful reads, especially if you have the power and will to change things in the organization for the better.
The main concepts: idea meritocracy, believability, radical truth, and transparency and many others already found a way into my daily life and our organization. I believe that in the long run, it can make an enormous impact on both.
