Principles for Success by Ray Dalio
2.0
Yesterday, I scanned the "work self-help" shelves at my local library and checked out several books (more "me, me, me" to come!). This book's primary merit: brevity. This morning, before reading the one-sitting picture book, I Googled Ray Dalio to make myself as alert as possible to the background of the "wisdom" I was about to take in. I see you, Ray.
This book was a useful (fast!) read if only to push against.
Here's a man, with incredible wealth and power, whose principles for success are focused on the individual and are missing mutual betterment. I'll expect more of myself than setting goals that perpetuating the mono-culture described in this book, which also fails to acknowledge systemic bias as a "problem" blocking people from "success."
Thinking about what being a "hyperrealist" could look like for me.
