Ray Dalio, PRINCIPLES FOR SUCCESS Jan 14, 2020

Show notes

Ray Dalio is the founder, co-CIO, and co-chairman of Bridgewater Associates, one of the top philanthropists in the country, and the New York Times best-selling author of Principles: Life and Work. His new adaptation, PRINCIPLES FOR SUCCESS, is an illustrated and entertaining version for readers of all ages. Ray created a simpler version for parents wanting to share these principles for decision-making with their children. I absolutely loved chatting with Ray about work-life balance as a parent, that learning often begins with failure, and the realization that life's greatest satisfaction is having both meaningful work and meaningful relationships. Ray discusses the lessons he has encountered as a parent and grandparent and the importance of letting children formulate their own opinions and decisions at an early age.
