Marvin Liao Partner/500 StartupsI tend to jump from book to book and may switch if I am interested in some new topic. This is a pleasure for me (which I also do benefit work wise from too). It’s quite a random list because I have eclectic interests (or just scatterbrained most likely) on tech business, AI, general global economy, geopolitics, rising Biotech economy & history. I'm basically 15% to 50% into all these books. (Source)

Amber Atherton We talked a lot @ycombinator about whether you could apply Ray Dalio's Principles to start up culture. We concluded that you can't BUT you can just be radically candid @kimballscott this book is such a great read. The concept of bringing your whole self to work? 🔑 #majorkey (Source)

Howard Marks I think the guiding quote of the book is [one] from Mark Twain, 'History does not repeat, but it does rhyme.' (Source)

Bryan Johnson [The author] open sourced Bridgewater’s methods in [this book] 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)

Chris Goward Here are some of the books that have been very impactful for me, or taught me a new way of thinking: [...] Principles by Ray Dalio. (Source)

Chandini Jain [ on her favorite business book.] (Source)

Ayush Kumar Principles is a masterpiece, it's the most practical book written on life and work. It tells the true meaning of success, why it's nice to fail and that no one is special or extraordinary. You ultimately got to read this to find out the magic and if you have already read which I guess yes you have then you absolutely understand what my heart is saying. (Source)

Dominic Steil Business most recently has been Principles by Ray Dalio. He talks about systems and causation very clearly. His philosophies of idea meritocracy within an organization are at the core of Bridgewaters decision making in capital markets. (Source)

Hong Qi Yu This book talks about the basics of thought development when tackling certain problems/issues, which has helped me immensely through my journey in founding Tokenize Xchange. (Source)

Cory Zue I’ve been on a bit of a “finding meaning in life” kick lately and Ray’s self/inward focus of coming up with your own principles you want to live by is an interesting mental exercise to go through. I also find that I agree with most of what he says. (Source)

Antonio Eram This book was recommended by Antonio when asked for titles he would recommend to young people interested in his career path. (Source)

Henry Medine I promote range and diversity. Thus, I recommend readers to expose themselves to as many different topics as possible. I usually have 2-4 books I refer back to at any given time. They range in topics from management, art, spirituality and philosophy. Trying to get the engineering thing going but don't much of a mind for science. (Source)

Derek Sivers Wow. So dense with wisdom that I wanted to highlight almost every paragraph. (Source)

Michael Bloomberg Ray Dalio’s market acumen is legendary, but it was creating and living by a set of principles that allowed him to reach the top. Everyone with goals and dreams can learn from Ray’s approach. (Source)

Sarah Cone @zck I love it. I feel like it is almost singular in the genre of a self-help book written by an actually successful person. The problem is that you likely cannot succeed in the same way that your fathers did as they have already captured all the success that uses that method. (Source)
