Principles: Your Guided Journal (Create Your Own Principles to Get the Work and Life You Want)

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.

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.

Ray is awesome

Great book and fun to read and do the exercises. The app is glitch though.

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’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.

my manager recommended to me, i ordered it and read it, really good for me. I would recommend for anyone

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.

El libro es increíble, solo el método de entrega daño el libro

Na minha opinião o livro é mal diagramado e editado. Isso prejudica muito a experiência de leitura pois não é "agradável" para se ler. Teoricamente, foi feito desta forma para que se possa escrever e anotar ao longo do livro. Achei confuso também, pois em determinado momento ele pede para escrever sobre "princípios", mas não cita exemplos do que são princípios nem explica qual a diferença de "princípios" para "valores", por exemplo. Além disso, existe um app que complementa a experiência permitindo fazer testes, assistir vídeos etc. Este app não funciona fora dos Estados Unidos. No geral, não gostei. Os demais livros do autor considero muito bons.

A great book - or a great exercise book Arrived on time and in good shape and I would also add that I like the quality of the cover and the paper used

The object itself is beautiful. The content and structure is well designed. I've started reading it yesterday, and it's already life-changing.

Loved every bit of this book. One thing to know up front is the app isn't avaliable in Canada but it's just an addition and supplement NOT a necessity. Everything you need is here and like typical Ray Dalio he allows it to flow short or long. You can choose your own adventure. It's been wonderful and forced me to learn alot about myself.
