"I believe that life consists of an enormous number of choices that come at us and that each decision we make has consequences, so the quality of our lives depends on the quality of the decisions we make."

#1 New York Times Bestseller “Significant...The book is both instructive and surprisingly moving.” —The New York Times 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, 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. 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 Bridgewater’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.

Principles

On every mental map after crisis or adversity, there are three mental paths:<ol><li> You keep circling around where you currently are.</li><li>You are led to further negative consequences.</li><li>You are led to a place where you are stronger and more capable than before.</li></ol>Study after study shows that if we are able to conceive of a failure as an opportunity for growth, we are all the more likely to experience that growth. In this way, we give ourselves the greatest power possible: the ability to move up not despite the setbacks, but because of them.

Mental Maps to Success

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • The happy secret to greater success and fulfillment in work and life—a must-read for everyone trying to flourish in a world of increasing stress and negativity “Thoughtfully lays out the steps to increasing workplace positivity.”—Forbes In the book that inspired one of the most popular TED Talks of all time, New York Times bestselling author Shawn Achor reveals how rewiring our brain for happiness helps us achieve more in our careers and our relationships and as students, leaders, and parents. Conventional wisdom holds that once we succeed, we’ll be happy; that once we get that great job, win that next promotion, lose those five pounds, happiness will follow. But the science reveals this formula to be backward: Happiness fuels success, not the other way around. Research shows that happy employees are more productive, more creative, and better problem solvers than their unhappy peers. And positive people are significantly healthier and less stressed and enjoy deeper social interaction than the less positive people around them. Drawing on his original research—including one of the largest studies of happiness ever conducted—and work in boardrooms and classrooms across forty-two countries, Achor shows us how to rewire our brains for positivity and optimism to reap the happiness advantage in our lives, our careers, and even our health. His strategies include: • The Tetris Effect: how to retrain our brains to spot patterns of possibility so we can see and seize opportunities all around us • Social Investment: how to earn the dividends of a strong social support network • The Ripple Effect: how to spread positive change within our teams, companies, and families By turns fascinating, hopeful, and timely, The Happiness Advantage reveals how small shifts in our mind-set and habits can produce big gains at work, at home, and elsewhere.

The Happiness Advantage

You have to know who you are to grow to your potential. But you have to grow in order to know who you are.

There are two great days in a person's life: the day you were born and the day you discover why.

Growth Gap Traps6. The Inspiration Gap (I don't feel like doing it) ~ Do it anyway even if you don't feel like it. Acting upon it would eventually I spire you to keep on doing it.7. The Comparison Gap (Others are better than I am) ~ Get over the comparison gap! You learn when others are better than you.8. The Expectation Gap (I thought it would be easier than this) ~ There is no easy road to any place that is worth going.

The Law of Intentionality

The Law of Awareness

3 Kinds of People when it comes to Direction1. People who don't know what they would like to do2. People who know what they would like to do but don't do it3. People who know what they would like to do and do it

Growth Gap Traps1. The Assumption Gap (I assume that I will automatically grow) ~ Make it your intention to grow. 2.

The Mistake Gap (I'm afraid of making mistakes) ~ Get over your fear of making mistakes, accept that it's part of the process of growth.5. The Perfection Gap (I have to find the best way before I start) ~ Starting is the only way to find the best way.

Making the Transition to Intentional Growth1. Ask the big question now.> Where do you want to go in life?> What direction do you want to go?> What's the farthest you can imagine going?2. Do It Now~ Have a sense of urgency about your intentional growth. Set aside specific time in your calendar for this.

How to find your passion and purpose1. Do you like what you're doing now?2. What would you like to do?3. Can you do what you would like to do?4. Do you know why you want to do what you would like to do?5. Do you know what to do so you can do what you want to do?6. Do you know people who do what you'd like to do?7. Should you do what you'd like to do with them?8. Will you pay the price to do what you want to do?9. When can you start doing what you'd like to do?10. What will it be like when you get to do what you'd like to do?

Making the Transition to Intentional Growth3. Face the Fear Factor> Fear of failure> Fear of trading security for the unknown> Fear of being overextended financially> Fear of what others will say or think> Fear that success will alienate peersWhich of these is your fear? Starve your fear and feed your faith.4. Change from accidental growth to Intentional Growth~ Go out of your way to seize growth opportunities.
