From Ray Dalio, the legendary investor and #1 New York Times
bestselling author of Principles--whose books have sold more than five
million copies worldwide--comes a guided reflection journal that
empowers readers everywhere to develop their own principles for success
in work and life.
"Principles are fundamental truths that serve as the foundations for
behavior that gets you what you want out of life." --Ray Dalio
In his #1 New York Times bestseller Principles, legendary investor
Ray Dalio introduced millions of readers around the world to the
unconventional approach he developed as the founder and builder of
Bridgewater Associates, the largest and most successful hedge fund in
the world. Dalio attributes his unique success to his process of
recording, refining, and acting on a set of well-defined principles,
which are effectively decision-rules for getting what you want out of
life and work. His goal in publishing the book was to show readers the
value of principle-based thinking so that they could develop their own
principles, aligned with their own values, for getting whatever they
wanted out of life.
With this new journal, Dalio takes his goal one step further to help
readers reflect on and record their own principles. He does that by
providing a series of guided exercises and questions for reflecting on
what you're like, what you value, and what principles will best help you
achieve your goals. These exercises draw from key concepts in the
original Principles book, including:
1. How to identify your strengths, weaknesses, motivations, and
preferences
2. How to use the "five-step process" to achieve your goals
3. How to become both "assertive and open-minded at the same time"
4. How to maximize your learning from your mistakes (which are
inevitable)
All of these exercises can optionally be enhanced using the free
Principles in Action iOS and Android app (currently available in the
United States, UK, Germany, Spain, and India with more countries to
come), which provides an even more interactive, multimedia experience,
and they are followed by a number of blank journal pages containing
thought-provoking and unconventional prompts from Principles aimed at
helping you formulate your own principles*.* The experience concludes
with a structured reflection on where you and your loved ones are along
life's journey, leaving you with a highly personalized, practical
playbook for achieving success in the years ahead.
