Principles: Life & Work is a 2017 book by hedge fund manager Ray Dalio based on principles he had developed while leading Bridgewater Associates. These Principles for Success were also made available as an ultra mini-series adventure by the author. [1] According to The New York Times, staff at Bridgewater were involved in the writing of the book. [2]

Contents

The book was on The New York Times Best Seller List [3] and was the top business book of 2017 on Amazon. [4] Despite the book's commercial success and several notable endorsements, few people actually implement the principles. [5]

Development

After receiving a frank memo from his top lieutenants in 1993 concerning his interpersonal performance as a manager, Bridgewater Associates' Ray Dalio began to develop a unique company culture based on principles and unadorned feedback. He originally published a shorter version of Principles online in 2011, where it received over three million downloads. It was officially released as Principles: Life & Work on September 19, 2017, [6] by Simon & Schuster. [7]
