## Overview

Principles by Ray Dalio shares the groundbreaking management and life philosophies behind Bridgewater Associates’ historic success. This easy-to-read book offers practical lessons on decision-making, radical transparency, and building strong teams, making it a must-have for professionals seeking to optimize their personal and organizational performance.

## Description

Ray Dalio, one of the world’s most successful investors and entrepreneurs, shares the unconventional principles that he’s developed, refined and used over the past forty years to create unique results in both life and business—and which any person or organization can adopt to help achieve their goals.In 1975, Ray Dalio founded an investment firm, Bridgewater Associates, out of his two-bedroom apartment in New York City. Forty years later, Brid gewater has made more money for its clients than any other hedge fund in history and grown into the fifth most important private company in the United States, according to Fortune magazine. Dalio himself has been named to Time magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Along the way, Dalio discovered a set of unique principles that have led to Brid gewater’s exceptionally effective culture, which he describes as “an idea meritocracy that strives to achieve meaningful work and meaningful relationships through radical transparency.” It is these principles and not anything special about Dalio—who grew up an ordinary kid in a middle-class Long Island neighborhood—that he believes are the reason behind his success.In Principles, Dalio shares what he’s learned over the course of his remarkable career. He argues that life, management, economics and investing can all be systemized into rules and understood like machines. The book’s hundreds of practical lessons, which are built around his cornerstones of “radical truth” and “radical transparency,” include Dalio laying out the most effective ways for individuals and organizations to make decisions, approach challenges and build strong teams. He also describes the innovative tools the firm uses to bring an idea meritocracy to life, such as creating “baseball cards” for all employees that distill their strengths and weaknesses and employing computerized decision-making systems to make believability-weighted decisions. While the book brims with novel ideas for organizations and institutions, Principles also offers a clear, straightforward approach to decision-making that Dalio believes anyone can apply, no matter what they’re seeking to achieve.Here, from a man who has been called both “the Steve Jobs of investing” and “the philosopher king of the financial universe” (CIO magazine), is a rare opportunity to gain proven advice unlike anything you’ll find in the conventional business press.

Review: Excellent book - Every one should read this book. Very good understanding of balance between work and life
Review: Amazing read; highly recommend to all, a useful guide, a no nense kind of book - 1) the book & paper quality: the book quality is fine and value for money 2) the content of the book is really interesting and edifying There is so much for us to learn and apply. It's inspiring and eye opener to so many things. It is detailed and has a lot insights. We might find a lot of reference to other books, which one may use as a suggestion (or references ) and expand their reading horizon. Amazing use of language easy to understand, it's been a while since I have read the book and a lot of Decisions have become more faster to take, a lot of error have been reflected upon and some corrected by me, focuses largely on decision making Some points I would like to brief from the book: 1) Mainly the power of audacious goals 2) Achievements of all goals through collective decision making 3) avoidance of Emotional hijacking or staying clear from harmful Emotions 4) Letting go the attachment of me knowing the right answers 5) use of clinical objectivity The journey of Ray Dalio has been explained so transparently and with so much detail. I can go on. Highly recommend this read to all entrepreneur, start up, HR guys, stock market investors etc Drawback: 1) A lengthy read 2) something are repetitive

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Much needed life and work advices
*by S***L on 17 July 2020*

The author has done a good job of capturing almost everything that he seems to have encountered and penned down in quite an articulate way. The takeout for me was, "find and follow your own principles, not what others have set forward without even understanding why and what of them". This book has been a year long journey for me and I've quite tried to incorporate this thought and it seemed to have helped resolve a lot of internal conflicts. I guess that is the first step in having a clear mind which can lay down a foundation of meaningful life. Similarly the key point from the work principles was, radical truthfulness and radical transparency. Tried and tested, it seems THE way to be, and have meaningful relationships. As the author also points out, once you get into this, you don't feel like being in any other way. Some places the book became too much of a formula kind or say calculated, I personally don't like to live that way. But the author also is mindful of pointing out that that is not the only way to go about it hence being open minded, that's a million dollar suggestion. Be open minded and assertive at the same time. There's so much treasure in this book that I'd want to keep coming back and savour it. The tone is very much humble hence earning the trust, at the same time it also is a bit too programmatic where it looses the connection. overall, a great reading experience (since I got to also try it out in life practically while reading, the value is more). Perhaps this is a better way of using this book for good, given it's quite long(not in terms of number of pages but the information it provides), it won't make sense if you just read, learnt the principles, got inspired and forgot unless you put them too use.
