Simply, this is a great book for anyone who wants to start a project, study success and/or improve their corporate practices.
Ray Dalio is one of the wealthiest people in the world and is known for founding and leading Bridgewater Associates, one of the most relevant investment funds.
The first part of the book is his autobiography, reviewing the relevant episodes of his life from 1949 to 2017 retrospectively. This first part has great value to understand the milestones that led Dalio to his success and shows how failure and effort are always an important part of any entrepreneurial story.
Parts II and III refer to the personal and work principles that Ray has been building throughout his life and that have allowed him to achieve the life he has.

Perceive and do not tolerate problems
