Jason Evanish liked it affiliate
Ray Dalio is a multi-billionaire who has built his investment firm, Bridgewater Associates, to be a titan in its industry. This book breaks down his philosophy on culture and leadership, and the principles that guide it. It's fascinating to see the degree of structure he brings to his teams and the thoughtful ways he attempts to give his people frameworks to help them do their jobs better.

Nat Eliason recommends it
Much better organized and fleshed out than the original PDF. It gets very slow in the work principles, definitely skim those based on your interest. The life principles are phenomenal, though. Would highly recommend.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
