A review by seanius
Principles for Success by Ray Dalio
2.0
Engaging yet worryingly utilitarian practical view of the lifecycle of a western professional.
There is a refreshingly hard look at the inevitable declining years of life: losing one family and friends to the ravages of time, along with one's more ego-driven abilities and ambitions.
A core approach seems to be a Terminator-like algorithm of tracking for problems, identifying solutions, and acting. Surely this is an effective approach in the boardroom or the engineer's design house - but is that all that life is about? Is there not something more to being alive and human, than juggernauting along, evaluating progress and solving problems?
However, I still hope to read the full "Principles" text, in case I have missed something...
