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.

Much needed life and work advices

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 17 July 2020

Verified Purchase

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.

This book is a very good value for your money. Divided in 3 parts, ray dalio shares story about his origin , his life principles and work principles in this book. This book can be read again and again and each time you get to learn something new. Everything Mr. Dalio shares is very useful and when applied seriously can lead to a sucessful life. This book is a must have in your bookshelf and it will add value to your life forever. It must be read again and again as an instruction manual for life and work.

Amazing read; highly recommend to all, a useful guide, a no nense kind of book

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 13 December 2018

Verified Purchase

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

Actual copy meeting MY expectations.

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 5 August 2018

Verified Purchase

Well, i'd say the product didn't quite meet my expectations, in good and bad ways. Let us start with bad one first, the only thing that disappointed me was that the pages are a little wavy, that is, when you look at the closed book from the sides it's not perfectly straight as it would be with other HARDcover books, actually hard and sturdy, but it was just my expectation from usual that even this would be the same way.
Now, not meeting my expectations in a good way, the copy is quite larger than i expected, also quite larger for a 500 pages book, why? because the paper quality is really very good, each sheet is like laminated scroll sheet and few papers in between are colored fancy papers really making it very attractive for the readers.
And most importantly, as everybody knowing about this book might also know that the prior and the first edition of this book has plain black front(face) and that white thing(headlines and journals section) is not there, well, that white thing is still not there i.e it is just a paper cover for the book on its actual and original hardbound. Yep, i too got happy discovering that! Book (as a physical substance) is worth the money and offer on amazon and so its a sure shot go for it! and the book for its knowledge is invaluable for the immense wisdom and discipline it offers.

Probably best for young adults

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 17 April 2019

Verified Purchase

The book, physically, is very nicely bound and produced. It's print is lovely, black and red ink, and is organised into three parts. It's essentially a huge bullet-pointed document with one or two paragraphs under each sub-point. There are black and red ribbons to mark pages, which I've always liked in books.

It's an unusual book. I find myself swinging between enjoying Ray's wisdom and feeling like I need to take it all with a huge pinch of salt because of the massive amount of survivorship, hindsight and outcome bias in play.

The book is also a contradiction, since it is largely about open-minded and different points of view and yet its entirely Ray's unchallenged points of view. I'm a software engineer and I remember once reading a programming principles book where maybe five programmers all chimed in with their own opinions and challenges on the assertions in the book, which was really cool.

Maybe another billionaire will say there's a case for close-mindedness, focus and shutting out opinion that will lead to analysis paralysis. Maybe there are books by leading psychologists that have devoted years to a topic that would be better to read, such as Thinking Fast and Slow. For older or more voracious or aspirational business, management or "self improvement" book readers, much of Ray's thinking will simply rhyme with what you may already believe.

It's probably wishful thinking to expect by reading a huge list of advice you'll magically be reprogrammed and have established a set of good thought patterns, esp. if you're trying to improve in isolation; you're not surrounded by people mirroring and modelling good practice. Though I rarely found myself disagreeing with anything Ray writes. There's a lot in the book to take in and I don't know how much will stick.

The biggest thing for me, and I say this as a "fan" of Ray, is that I struggle with the reviews of his company on Glassdoor and the _reality_ of people working under his principles vs. other companies that highly-successful while having much higher ratings and are anecdotally nicer places to work, such as Salesforce.

When other companies can achieve so much and foster happy, purposeful, creative and fulfilled people by taking a different approach, you have to ask whether his principles have really led to better lives, better outcomes for his employees or whether Ray conflates how well he's done with achieving his life goals with how well everyone else is doing?

Ray puts on a mask

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 7 March 2020

Verified Purchase

After reading the book I am left feeling that Ray is a brilliant business man, just like Jobs and other visionaries, but also, just like Jobs, Ray is a very dangerous person because he doesn't understand how relationships work. In essence, he tries to put on an ethical mask by saying that relationships are important to him, but in reality he is an excellent manipulator. He comes up with strategies and have spent countless hours to figure out people, not because he loves them, wants to help them, but because he was fed up with people and wanted to understand the "social code".

I think he does a great job at business, but really he should delete all the chapters about life principles and let people who are better than him at these topics lead the way. I expected a business oriented book, but in the end it felt like his redemtion story that he needed to write so all the people he hurt can understand why he hurt them and how it was their fault.

Ray reminds me of Gordon Geko in the new Wall Street film where he says he cares about family, but then has no awarness how to actually do it.

I really didn't find much value in this book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 20 August 2018

Verified Purchase

I know that many people love this book but I just could not find any value in it. I'm not the kind of person who will put down a book that I don't like. So I stuck it out and read the whole thing in hopes of finding value. The author has led a very impressive life and has made a boatload of money in his business. To me this book was more about the author explaining his success than it was about how I might achieve some additional success. Yes if I was a billionaire it would be easy to measure everything and surround myself with brilliant people. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people who read this book will not be able to put the methods in practice, primarily because they find themselves at the receiving end of these techniques.

Great book but create your own principles

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 12 December 2018

Verified Purchase

The book is very inspiring in terms of establishing guiding principles in life and work. Unfortunately I think Ray and many readers think that the principles are valid for everyone as they are. Ray Dalio and his hedge fund is in a very unique position in terms of decision making process, recruitment and how they work. This is definitely not applicable for everyone. Use the book as inspiration to create your own principles from scratch but don't use his as a starting point.

Very good

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 25 March 2021

Verified Purchase

Ray Dalio has been one of the great animators of the financial world in recent times. A very successful investor through his Bridgewater fund, Mr Dalio likes giving around his opinions in interviews, articles and tv appearances, always in a kind, almost gentle way. His "circles" theory of the finance world (which he made available to download free in his company's web) is very good, more ellaborated that it looks initially, yet at the same time it's a very personal piece - Mr Dalio wants to educate potential investors with his personal experiences and thoughts.
This "Principles" book was much anticipated and comes with recommendations by heavy weights of American capitalism. As its title suggests, it's at the same time a manifesto on doing business, yet also a reflection on the investor's life. It is long, diverse, deep and personal - these are the virtues, quite visible along the pages, yet in these very features lie their own flaws.
The first part is a rough biography of Mr Dalio as an entrepreneur and investor. It is very frank and it makes sure it shows the man open, under the less important fund manager. Perhaps the most touching section is that when he has to borrow money from his father to attend an important meeting with a potential investor - this client could make him rich, but Mr Dalio was so broke he had not the means to atend the meeting (it was in a distant city). The episode does bring to mind the anecdote Barack Omaba likes telling (he did so in two of his books, yet he tells it better in the Audacity of Hope, rather than in his recent autobiography). Mr Obama's credit card was rejected when trying to rent a car in an airport right after losing his first run to the US Senate and having a big row with his wife.
This is the kind of things successful people like telling to make a point when hitting rock bottom, and how this actually helps them to get back on their feet - you're down and out, but it doesn't matter, what matters is what you will do from there. And Mr Dalio has lived enough bubbles, crises, trends, shocks and waves as to know his trade. Also very touching, almost brave, is when Mr Dalio tells his son's mental condition, finally kept under control, and his own fears during his serious health problems, happily solved in the end.
The second part is an attempt to present the famous "principles" for doing business, and it is the weaker part of the book. With some graphics, it displays the circles, waves and tendencies of things and how the good manager should handle those. Again, it does not match the first part, the much more interesting life of a successful fund manager. The reader misses more of the man trying to do business against the odds, and could have done without the schematic economic lessons.
In the end, the book is good (good plus, if you will) and a worthy read. It is well written, with sober prose and passionate parts. Yet it is not perfect - it's too diverse and un-balance in some chapters, but in the end it is one of those books which tells something new to all its readers.
