Principles: Life and Work | Ray Dalio | Talks at Google

In 1975, Ray Dalio founded an investment firm, Bridgewater Associates, out of his two-bedroom apartment in New York City. Forty years later, Bridgewater 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.

In his new book "Principles", Dalio shares what he’s learned over the course of his remarkable career, arguing 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,” offers a clear, straightforward approach to decision-making that Dalio believes anyone can apply, no matter what they’re seeking to achieve.

Moderated by Jordan Thibodeau.

Great video. But let me talk about something important, I see a lot of young people and less young people making mistakes that I think they shouldn't be making. I believe that everyone, young or old investing, should have a business plan that will boost their financial return from three figures to six figures. The investment can be your retirement plan or your future plan, whatever you want, but the most important thing is that you have an investment that is worthwhile.

I like Dalio. He still seems humble in spite of his great success.

[shotatoriumi]

So much respect for this man. Most highly intelligent people are not nearly as sociable or want advice as Ray does

Exercise and meditation are absolutely STUNNING

[gauravstam]

Best thing about Google talk is that it let's guest speak their mind

[CJinsoo]

love his comment that was basically, “who cares what you think, it’s about finding what is true”

reminds me of another quote: “you cannot fully convince someone that they are wrong, only reality can.”

finally, great insights on meditation and the benefits—right, on!

Innovative solutions to corporate problems can be carried over to the political process. This guy should run for President.

Life is role play. You are successful because you played each role with heart. RESTECP!

I wish i was there and could ask him direct questions on trading psychology and risk management. These people dont even know what they can ask a legend like Ray Dalio.

Thank you ; Ray Dalio on this lecture / talk. The power of knowing oneself, weaknesses and strengths defines what we become. From making choices and values, to facing responsibilities and obligations as well as how we approach problems is so helpful.

“There are three types of people in this world. Firstly, there are people who make things happen. Then there are people who watch things happen. Lastly, there are people who ask, what happened? Which do you want to be?”
