Arianna Huffington: "Ray Dalio has a unique talent for making important and complex issues simple.

I was riveted by his descriptions of the cause/effect relationships that drove the last five hundred years of history and how they provide practical guidance for dealing with what is happening now.

This may well be the most important book of the year if not the decade. A must-read.”

David Friedberg: "It's very important that anyone listening to this who has any interest in what's going on in the world today broadly, read Ray Dalio's Principles for Dealing With The Changing World Order.

It is my #1, #2, and #3 book recommendation of 2021"

Elon Musk: "Quite interesting."

MrBeast: "[Walter Isaacson's] Steve Jobs biography was fantastic"

Shane Parrish: "It seems that throughout history we, as a people, forget that sources of trouble that are small can have huge implications.

We forget that leverage makes us fragile. Just when we think we’ve figured out the world and reduced it to an equation based on empirical evidence, it changes and lights a tinderbox."

Bill Gates: "This book, about our aging electrical grid, fits in one of my favorite genres: “Books About Mundane Stuff That Are Actually Fascinating.”

Part of the reason I find this topic fascinating is because my first job, in high school, was writing software for the entity that controls the power grid in the Northwest.

But even if you have never given a moment’s thought to how electricity reaches your outlets, I think this book would convince you that the electrical grid is one of the greatest engineering wonders of the modern world.

I think you would also come to see why modernizing the grid is so complex and so critical for building our clean-energy future."
