Terrible Narrator
Read/listen to the real thing, which is great. This summary is terribly narrated, hard to see past that. She refers to the Idea Meritocracy (the core concept of Dalio’s entire philosophy) as an ‘Idea Mediocrity’. Also calls Bridgewater ‘Brightwater’. Seriously, you would’ve thought they’d get someone who’s actually literate to do the narration!
