review 1: This is a very interesting book giving Ray Dalio's principles for success.It also serves as a guide to the key philosophy behind Bridgewater and it's success.Some takeaways for me are:Root cause analysis to find the real drivers of problems.Must do's and like to haves. Don't do any like to haves until you have done ALL your must do's.The 80/20 principleIf you knew now what you knew then, would you still so X or Y? If not then scrap, cancel or sack them now.Don't tolerate things, identity problems and try to resolve themDo an expected value analysis on all decisions based on outcomes and probabilitiesAll decisions have pros and cons. You can find ones just with prosYou can't make everyone happy all the timeIT should not be a department in itself to have other departments f... moreighting over resources, each department should have staff for its own technological needBy and large - don't get bogged down in fighting over detail when something is fundamentally trueChallenge and have people challenge your decisionsYou can be right all the time. Learn from mistakes and things will get better over time
review 2: ## Reality + Dreams + Determination = A Successful Life## Pain + Reflection = ProgressIs it true?What he really wanted to do was beat the market.
