He has appeared on ABC's "Good Morning America," NPR and other major news networks.
Reviews

"This is a terrific dagger of a book packed with cringey detail...one of the better books ever written about Wall Street....The Fund is the perfect rage-read."
--New York Times Book Review

"At last, the era of the billionaire philosopher-king has a defining book. The Fund is a taut, nonfiction thriller."
--Bryan Burrough, author of Barbarians at the Gate

"A classic American story about the most famous man on Wall Street--or the person he seems to be. The Fund manages to both shock and entertain at the same time."
--Philipp Meyer, bestselling author of American Rust and The Son

"The most explosive, mind-blowing business book I've ever read--and the most fun, too."
--Bradley Hope, co-author of the New York Times bestseller Billion Dollar Whale and Pulitzer Prize finalist

"Devastating...full of delectably awful anecdotes."
--Bethany McLean, bestselling author of The Smartest Guys in the Room

"It's a great book...everyone should read it!"
--Kara Swisher, co-host of the podcast Pivot

"Writing with droll aplomb, Copeland takes a torch to Dalio's reputation as a Wall Street savant...the result is a hugely entertaining depiction of unbridled wealth colliding with unhinged folly."
--Publishers Weekly

"A closely observed investigation...Copeland's history of the firm benefits from deep sourcing, drawing on new on-the-record interviews, internal documents, and multiple leaked e-mails...[offering] a vivid snapshot of Dalio's psyche."
--The New Yorker

"An unsettling exposé of a leading investment fund....A vivid portrait of soul-killing micromanagement in a ruthless corporate setting."
--Kirkus

"A jaw-dropping narrative...Financial reporter Rob Copeland has written a book that blows apart the mystique of Bridgewater and the man at its center. The Fund manages the improbable task of living up to its strapline of 'unravelling' a Wall Street legend."
--Financial Times

"Weird."
--Fortune

"Copeland's gripping book exposes the cult-like culture at Ray Dalio's Bridgewater Associates."
--Spear's

"An epic page-turner...reads like the slimmest of thrillers."
--The Messenger

"A hedge fund horror story."
--The Australian

"A page-turning portrait of a bully and bullshit artist--and, more fundamentally, a damning indictment of the elite compulsion to conflate wealth with genius."
--The Lever
