Ray Dalio’s Life & Work Principles

Dalio’s ‘Principles’ are the epitome of the power of the Growth Mindset – on steroids. If you ever doubted whether the ‘growth mindset’ really ‘works’ outside of Dr. Dweck’s Stanford University lab, here’s the proof. Ray Dalio is known for his extreme financial success. But don’t be fooled. These principles very much apply to life – not just work.

And, I especially love it that these principles are borne out of his most massive ‘failure’ – in which he was publicly “humiliated” by losing all his money, the money of friends and colleagues, and his business.

Nothing replaces the experience of reading the book. However, next best is to watch him at this recent Google Talk.
