So many to pick from in this amazing book. I’m focused on radical truth and radical transparency. Toughest and most uncomfortable to do, both personally and through work, but also the most freeing and impactful. I’ve committed to weekly progress.      source

Wow. So dense with wisdom that I wanted to highlight almost every paragraph. Instead, I skipped Part 1, about his background, because in the intro he recommends you skip it. I also skipped Part 3, about work principles, since they were all collaborative group-stuff, and I’m not working with anyone now. So here are my notes just from Part 2, “Life Principles”, which were so good I’ll probably re-read this book again next year. Caveat: it’s mostly so high-level — (“Decide what is true, then decide what to do about it.”) — that they’re more like koans to spark your own thoughts, instead of specific “do this” type advice.      source

8. I remember this book shaping up and validating so many of my leadership principles. @RayDalio did a masterful job here.      source
I was blown away. It’s both a guide to life, a guide to business, and also I think an insight into [the author] and someone who’s built an amazing business.      source

I'm obsessed with @RayDalio. His book Principles changed my approach to business. In fact, it's the most powerful business book I've ever read. Now he's turned it into a super punchy and impactful animated series. You MUST watch this.      source

Reading Ray Dalio’s book “Principles” while being so interested in Bitcoin was a great experience. I definitely recommend it CT🔥🚀🔥 @APompliano @MarkYusko @maxkeiser      source
The author Ray Dalio open sourced Bridgewater’s methods in Principles and the results were good evidence that collectives can operate at higher levels when they are open and honest about and can see past their cognitive flaws.      source
