Perfect mix of business and philosophy

In _Principles_, Dalio synthesizes business management, psychology (even neuroscience), and ethics in a rigorous way, based on decades running a large, successful organization.It was startling to recognize the gap between the obvious wisdom of some of his principles (be upfront about your and others’ weaknesses) and how businesses actually tend to operate. The sections on identifying, testing, and sorting people were great, too.Ultimately there are two ways most people and companies can benefit from the ideas in the book, I think. The first is by adopting idea-meritocratic and transparent values—it’s hard psychologically to make that leap but there aren’t that many other barriers. The second way is by transforming the organization so that every decision is highly data-driven (baseball cards, dot collector, etc)—I think operationally that way is harder to achieve and requires more resources to implement but the long-term benefits seem obvious, too.

The real education

If education meant to prepare for real world encounters, principles in action is as close as it get to the real experience. The straightforwardness of the Principles and the complete alignment with the cause effect principle, makes Ray’s teachings tremendously practical and highly logical. Out of the many books I read across all genres Principles is my favorite.Update1: I use Principles in Action everyday at least once, the new version has issues I want to bring to the team attention. 1. Within the last two week or so the app wasn’t displaying any data. This problem persisted for a week or so. Though eventually it got fixed, the App takes significantly longer time to upload and open the landing page. Today was a bit quicker than it has been during the week.2. The videos within the case studies and the ones imbedded in the book acts funny when changing between full display and half display. The app often shut down and needs to be opened again when display is changed. Some suggestion for new features1. It would be helpful to allow users to categorize their principles. Now users principles are all under the category “my principles”. If users can chose a category for their principles e.g life and work and then creating subcategories for specific issues it would be a lot helpful. 2. If you can add a question of what principles a user have used recently and add an option to display these principles on top, maybe also statistics for the usage. I think it will be helpful to use the data to figure out chronic issues/weaknesses. Principles in Action still my favorites app so what you do is extremely valuable and the principles themselves are guides to a superior way to live meaningfully. Keep up the good work!

Great Job Ray

The app idea is great! Kudos to Ray and the dev team great work! The app is super useful as an alternative to the book to navigate principles and find what’s relevant to you when you’re dealing a particular situation. I think Ray Dalio is really trying to make it easy as possible to benefit from his huge experience which is practical and can be applied to anyone’s life no matter their background or industry they work in, and for free! This guy achieved a lot and now he is really focused on simply helping others find wisdom and answers to achieve their own goals too. Wonderful contribution to society, those who use principle know how useful this can be.

Like app and ideas, but...

Great content. The multimedia aspect really enhances it. BUT...you can’t export anything. All the principles I added and all the notes I made are stuck inside the app. For content you are supposed to use to grow and expand your life, this is a really big negative. So far, I haven’t found a way to work around it effectively.The content and ideas are outstanding. Ray Dalio really has done a great job framing, clarifying and communicating his principles and other groundbreaking ideas. Having those ideas, and anything I add, stuck in the app is a huge limitation. I doubt Ray would like it if he was on this side....

Please note that you can submit feedback directly to our Product team, from within Principles In Action, by tapping the Question Mark icon, and then the Notepad icon in the top right.
