BookWorm: Principles

November 15, 2017

There are few books that have the capacity to change your life, if you were to practice the lessons shared therein diligently. Ray Dalio’s Principles is one such book. This post contains some of the key life and investment principles and lessons Dalio writes about.

“Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested: that is, some books are to be read only in parts, others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.” ~ Sir Francis Bacon, English author, courtier, & philosopher

There are few books that have the capacity to change your life, if you were to practice the lessons shared therein by the author. For me, Peter Kaufman’s Poor Charlie’s Almanack was one of them, and so was Peter Bevelin’s All I Want to Know. Ray Dalio’s Principles, , which I got my hands to recently, is another such book I believe, for reasons you will soon know.
