Principles: Your Guided Journal Hardcover – November 30, 2022

Ray is a little wordy, but he's honest truthful and if you got the time, definitely a must read twice. It's like talking to a pal who wants you to improve your life and be able to do what you need to do to be who you want to be.

I loved it!

The media could not be loaded. This is a good book every body needs to have it in their collection. That book can help you to buld your own principles for success in work and life. That book motivated me more about my principles, then I was learning the life in arc I didn't know. That book is not expensive. It deserve 5 stars.

I’ve read all Ray Dalio books and this notebook is a great extension for self-education.I don’t care about the size of the letters font or some minor convenience issues.Just be grateful for the precious knowledge that is being shared with you, even if it is on a scrap of a paper.Highly recommend if you are familiar with Ray Dalio. I would not recommend to start with this Journal if you have no idea who Ray Dalio is and have never read any of his books.

This guided journal is the perfect push. Its most helpful if you read the book.

The book is a wonderfully gentle assault on what I’m going to call un-clarity. Dalio offers Principle, after Principle, after lucid all but self-evident Principle, as if he and the reader were both Michaelangelo and we were the block of marble. One of them is, “Everybody has one big thing that’s stopping them. Find it and deal with it.” By the time that nugget shows up, he’s presented sufficient exercises and homework such that “deal with it” is more than do-able. Recommended.

This book, Principles, is the most valuable book to have in your business library. This book, My Principles, is the way for you to put your principles up close and personal.

I’ve had Principles: Life and Work on my virtual shelf for quite a while. It’s curious to me how we hold on to books for years before reading them. It’s like the reading gods know when we need a specific book and we magically have it.Principles is one of those books.Until a few years ago, I’d never heard of Ray Dalio or his company Bridgewater. Now, I know Bridgewater is a wildly successful company financially as well as internally as a team. Dalio has spent time with the world’s foremost leaders on business and culture, including the Dalai Lama. In Principles, he shares the many hard rules he maintains to get the best out of himself and others.After starting a new job at a company with fewer than thirty employees, I’ve been reading more and more about building great companies and cultures. Principles fits the bill. While I don’t agree with everything Dalio believes or practices, I understand how he developed these principles and how they work well in his industry. I also appreciate Dalio’s belief in radical transparency. He practices this in his book. He doesn’t tell you a pithy principle and share a cutesy anecdote. He talks about the good, bad, and ugly of starting, scaling, and maintaining a company.This book is worth the read, especially if you work in an office-type job. There are dozens of helpful tips you can pick up and even more nuggets of wisdom you can adapt for your own book of principles.
