Synopses

Principles Life and Work

Dalio shares what he learned over the course of his career, arguing that life, management, economics and investing can be systemised into rules and understood like machines. The book presents hundreds of practical lessons built around “radical truth” and “radical transparency”. It also sets out approaches for decision-making, handling challenges and building strong teams.

Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order

Dalio describes noticing a confluence of political and economic conditions he had not encountered before. He points to large debts and zero or near-zero interest rates, alongside significant money printing in the world’s three major reserve currencies. He also highlights political and social conflict within countries, particularly the US, and the rise of China challenging the US and the existing world order.

Principles Your Guided Journal

Linked to Dalio’s international bestseller, this guided journal draws on the approach he developed as founder and builder of Bridgewater Associates. It centres on his process of recording, refining and acting on well-defined principles. These are presented as decision-rules for getting what you want out of life and work.
