I connected instantly with ray because i too also fell in love with trading the markets at a young age and i also have a few other things in common with the author. All i have to say is that this book is packed with value, and i truly feel that ray dalio wrote this book (and the app that compliments the book) with the main intention of helping others. This isnt a self help book lol, id say more of a subjective instruction manual. This book lays out very helpful principles that can be applied in well..life and work…..he wrote these principles out easy enough for you to get the main idea, it is up to you to be creative enough to dissect the information given to you and apply it to your own circumstances.. all principles make sound logical sense, they are fairly applicable to any type of work or life goal, and some of those principles id say should be common sense but as we all know, common sense is not common, i learned some very crucial things just from the first 50 pages. such simple things that i had failed to realize about how i learn and think and do that if i had realized earlier i would be alot further along than i am now. the rest of the book gives even more value-able and crucial lessons and principles right up to the last page …read the book, think deeper than the words given, under stand the meaning of the principles and how the core concept of each principle applies to you as an individual, they are easy to apply to your thought processes….i highly recommend this book. If you cant focus enough to understand and internalize the principles go get some adderall prescribed or download the app he made, it has pictures and cartoons for you!… if you are into economics and financial markets i also recommend his other book. Plus they both look cool :)

Feels a bit too boomer in the way the content was delivered, and not in a good way. I am sure there's a lot of important information but I wasn't engaged as much as I could have been.

Written for life and work in a very concise and orderly guideline for rational decision making. I don't regret buying this at all, may seem like an doubtworthy book for 40 dollars but it's extremely helpful for people that need a set of order in their life, teaching all sorts of practical advice by the one and only Ray Dalio himself.

Everyone should read this, it should be taught in Universities.

This book is a Collector’s Delight. A wonderful account to be always kept on the work desk and to be referred for clearing challenges of both life and work. The idea meritocracy definition and how to use it can be written down and kept as a handy tool to fix things. Clear, concise and precise defines this book. Recommended for everyone to read and assimilate.

Increadible book and very openminded.Perfect for whoever is seeking for a self growjng book

The chosen one for learning everything that you are not taught freely about the Principles of wealth creation and development. Still reading even though I have finished the book!! Countless excellent points and subsequent examples. A must read.
