Ray Dalio & Deepak Chopra on Life and Death

Since I released my book Principles: Life & Work in 2017, several remarkably successful people from all walks of life contacted me to tell me that they used basically the same largely-unknown principles in their own lives and asked me to brainstorm about principles with them. I thought it was interesting that these principles worked across so many domains and are not well known, so I arranged to brainstorm with them about these principles on the condition that we would record and share our conversations to help others. Deepak Chopra, whom I respect greatly, was my most recent brainstorming partner. Here is our incredibly interesting and valuable conversation.

Deepak Chopra Sir 🙏 one day people will understand who you truly are and how fortunate we are today to have witnessed you

[bbelev]

Ray’s life wisdom is so inspiring, I am so thirsty for as much as I can learn about his philosophy about life in general

[NavaidSyed]

Joy and gratitude are the natural gifts that make this journey worthwhile.

[bryanb]

This is a great discussion with a lot of depth to it, that needs to be processed

[Trung.Nguyen]

Thank Ray for write all of your wisdom to Principle that we can understand about our principle in life and work. Otherwise we just blindly go around life and work and not understand at all how to deal with uncertainty that coming to us.

Hello Ray,
I have all your books and have read them cover to cover (including the data-heavy tomes). I have great respect for your work. With all due respect, let me correct you on one misunderstanding.
Individuals do not evolve. They grow, develop, reproduce (perhaps) and finally die. In contrast, species evolve. Evolution is defined in collective terms. It is measurable and is precisely the changing frequencies of alleles (genes, if you like) across time in a given defined gene pool or population. Individuals may contribute to this process by having offspring (and raising them) or not, or by altering the reproductive success of other members of their family or tribe, and perhaps of other groups. But never, at any time, does the individual evolve. You develop, you learn, and you even become wise, but you do not evolve.

I enjoy Ray's perspective. I hope he invests some money into making these discussions look more professional and palatable to the masses.

[Peggy_Lyons-tusj]

I agree that awe is one of the best feelings to experience. In my belief system, all awe is attributed to God. It's humbling and exciting to experience. You can count happiness through past experiences and memories.

[undercoverturk]

I adore both of em so much. Incredible spirits 🙏

[nickp]

Very exciting. Ray Dalio I really appreciate your content.

We all go through the same thing but just in different manners. We will all meet the beholder but have fun with this journey as much as you can.
