The Ride of a Lifetime

A well-written and equally entertaining combination of Ray Dalio's Principles and Phil Knight's Shoe dog. The book has a few essential lessons on leadership and life in general. He talks a great deal about humility, empathy, respect, innovation and luck, which explains most of his and Disney's success, however at times it's a bit difficult to believe that he's as humble and empathic as he thinks he is, a clear example of that being the way he disregarded George Lucas completely in the new Star Wars series (which are quite shit in my opinion and made me lose all interest in Star Wars, having been a fan previous to that). Also, being close friends with Steve Jobs, who is known for anything but humility or empathy, makes his character a bit questionable.
Although he mentioned he will not be running for POTUS, I can definitely see this book as being part of his pre-announcement campaign. I'm not saying that he would be a bad president, but the timing is curious and the ‘very democratic' vibe of the book would make one think he's seriously considering running.
