alexherder 's review for:
Principles: Life and Work
by Ray Dalio
I listened to the audiobook and ordered the hardcover version about 2/3 of the way through. This is not a book to simply read or listen to in one shot, especially for someone running a business like I am. That being said, I found this first pass to be incredibly useful and have already found myself tweaking some of our operating principles.
For example, the concept of believability was obvious when he writes about it, but it's not something I incorporate into my decision-making as much as I should. I'm also going through a hiring process right now, and the idea of designing "the machine" (your process, team) around the roles needed vs. the people you have on hand is really smart.
The project of absorbing this dense tome of knowledge and experience is probably going to take years of study and experimentation, and I'm looking forward to the journey.
