Forty years later, Bridgewater has\nmade more money for its clients than any other hedge fund in history and grown\ninto the fifth most important private company in the United States, according\nto \u003ci\u003eFortune\u003c\/i\u003e magazine. Dalio himself has been named to \u003ci\u003eTime \u003c\/i\u003emagazine’s\nlist of the 100 most influential people in the world. Along the way, Dalio\ndiscovered a set of unique principles that have led to Bridgewater’s\nexceptionally effective culture, which he describes as “an idea meritocracy\nthat strives to achieve meaningful work and meaningful relationships through\nradical transparency.” It is these principles, and not anything special about\nDalio—who grew up an ordinary kid in a middle-class Long Island\nneighborhood—that he believes are the reason behind his success.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn \u003ci\u003ePrinciples, \u003c\/i\u003eDalio shares what he’s learned over the course\nof his remarkable career. He argues that life, management, economics, and\ninvesting can all be systemized into rules and understood like machines. The\nbook’s hundreds of practical lessons, which are built around his cornerstones\nof “radical truth” and “radical transparency,” include Dalio laying out the\nmost effective ways for individuals and organizations to make decisions,\napproach challenges, and build strong teams. He also describes the innovative\ntools the firm uses to bring an idea meritocracy to life, such as creating\n“baseball cards” for all employees that distill their strengths and weaknesses,\nand employing computerized decision-making systems to make\nbelievability-weighted decisions. While the book brims with novel ideas for\norganizations and institutions, \u003ci\u003ePrinciples\u003c\/i\u003e also offers a\nclear, straightforward approach to decision-making that Dalio believes anyone\ncan apply, no matter what they’re seeking to achieve.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHere, from a man who has been called both “the Steve Jobs of investing” and\n“the philosopher king of the financial universe” (\u003ci\u003eCIO \u003c\/i\u003emagazine), is\na rare opportunity to gain proven advice unlike anything you’ll find in the\nconventional business press.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eRay Dalio is Founder, Co-CIO and Member of the Bridgewater\nBoard, which, over the last forty years, has become the largest and\nbest-performing hedge fund in the world.
