On: Ask HN: Best books you read in the past decade?

Principles by Ray Dalio changed my life and really helped me better understand that inwardly looking at and analyzing my emotional responses to problems at work and home set me up for failure and since reading it I've had such profound clarity of thought. I recommend that book to literally everyone.

Another vote for Principles. It was gifted to me two years ago, and it triggered (over time) a complete change in my leadership and management style.

Felt like this was helpful from a personal perspective. Not sure how many organizations could live up to this level of discipline.

TBH having worked with some ex-Bridgewater folks I'm pretty skeptical how much Bridgewater actually lives up to it.
