He argues that life, management, economics, and investing can all be systemized into rules and understood like machines. The book’s hundreds of practical lessons, which are built around his cornerstones of “radical truth” and “radical transparency,” include Dalio laying out the most effective ways for individuals and organizations to make decisions, approach challenges, and build strong teams. He also describes the innovative tools the firm uses to bring an idea meritocracy to life, such as creating “baseball cards” for all employees that distill their strengths and weaknesses, and employing computerized decision-making systems to make believability-weighted decisions. While the book brims with novel ideas for organizations and institutions, Principles also offers a clear, straightforward approach to decision-making that Dalio believes anyone can apply, no matter what they’re seeking to achieve. Here, from a man who has been called both “the Steve Jobs of investing” and “the philosopher king of the financial universe” (CIO magazine), is a rare opportunity to gain proven advice unlike anything you’ll find in the conventional business press. Ray Dalio is the founder and mentor of Bridgewater Associates, which, over the last forty years, has become the largest and best performing hedge fund in the world. He is the author of [#1]() New York Times Bestseller and [#1]() Amazon Business Book of the Year, Principles. Dalio has appeared on the Time 100 list of the most influential people in the world as well as the Bloomberg Markets list of the 50 most influential people. He lives with his family in Connecticut. 《原则》是全球顶级投资家、桥水基金创始人瑞·达利欧倾注毕生经验写就的经典之作，被誉为“人生与管理的终极指南”。这本书不仅是一位投资大师的经验总结，更是一套应对生活与工作的系统化方法论。瑞·达利欧的《原则》是他一生经验和思考的精华，凝结了其在投资、工作和生活中遵循的基本法则。这些原则帮助他应对挑战、做出明智决策并取得了非凡的成就。 以下是《原则》一书中的100个顶级认知，它们提供了一个独特的视角和实用的框架，助你更好地理解现实、持续成长并追求有意义的人生和事业。 ▲ 瑞·达利欧，桥水基金创始人，被誉为"投资界的乔布斯" 如果你还不知道瑞·达利欧，你只需要记住这三件事： 桥水基金：他创立的对冲基金，管理资产峰值超过1600亿美元，是全世界最大的对冲基金； 两次"史诗级"预测：1987年精准预测美股崩盘，2008年金融危机前提前布局，为客户赚得盆满钵满； 极度透明文化：他在桥水推行一种近乎"残酷"的透明文化——任何人都可以当面批评任何人，包括他自己。 但达利欧最了不起的，不是他赚了多少钱。 而是他把"如何做出正确决策"这件事，变成了一套可以复制的原则体系 你当下的所有人生结果， 全是自己一次次选择的总和… 瑞·达利欧（Ray Dalio），全球最大对冲基金桥水基金创始人，投资界“宏观交易大师”，曾精准预测2008年金融危机 。《原则》（2017）是其40年人生与商业经验的沉淀，豆瓣8.3分，全球销量超300万册，核心是一套可复制、可迭代、可量化的人生与工作决策方法论，被誉为“改变世界的思维指南 很多时候你觉得人生不顺， 可能根本不是运气差、遇人不淑， 而是你从没学会为自己的每一个选择兜底。 今天给大家推荐《原则》这本书， 有一条关键性的“原则”， 那就是：“为自己负责”。 作者瑞・达利欧 是全球顶级投资机构桥水基金的创始人， 靠着一套自己总结的行事原则， 把桥水做成了全世界最赚钱的对冲基金之一， 甚至在 2008 年金融危机、 2020 年美股熔断的极端行情里都能稳赚不赔。 这本书就是他把自己 40 多年投资以及生活经验， 全部提炼成了普通人也能直接用的处事准则， 全书分为生活原则和工作原则两大板块， 每一条都是非常受用的干货。 你当下的所有人生结果， 全是自己一次次选择的总和… 这是我最受触动的贯穿全书的核心态度。 境遇不好、遭遇失败的时候， 永远先向内看，别忙着向外找借口。 而很多人是习惯性推卸责任： 工作搞砸了先怪同事不配合、领导要求太苛刻，感情出问题先怪对方不够体贴、不懂迁就， 甚至连没攒下钱都要怪物价太高、工资太低， 却忘了当初敷衍工作的是你、 吵架时不肯好好沟通的是你、 忍不住乱花钱的也是你。 瑞·达利欧的《原则》是他一生经验和思考的精华，凝结了其在投资、工作和生活中遵循的基本法则。这些原则帮助他应对挑战、做出明智决策并取得了非凡的成就。以下是《原则》一书中的100个顶级认知，它们提供了一个独特的视角和实用的框架，助你更好地理解现实、持续成长并追求有意义的人生和事业。 生活原则 作者提出“极度真实、极度透明”的核心原则，认为拥抱现实、应对现实是成功的基础。他强调了从错误中学习的价值，将痛苦视为进步的信号，并提出了“五步流程法”实现目标：设定目标、发现问题、诊断根源、规划方案、坚定执行。 工作原则 将桥水基金独特的“创意择优”文化系统化，强调通过“可信度加权决策”做最佳选择。达利欧认为，组织应像机器一样运行，通过严格的文化和优秀的人来实现目标，而正确的决策需要建立在公开透明、理性表达和合理分歧之上。 瑞·达利欧（Ray Dalio），1949年生于纽约，桥水基金创始人。他从12岁开始投资，后获哈佛商学院MBA学位。1975年，他在纽约的公寓内创立桥水，将其发展为全球最大对冲基金，巅峰管理规模超1600亿美元，在2008年金融危机中逆势盈利。 其成功核心是构建了一套基于“极端真实与透明”的原则化决策系统，并将公司管理理念总结为《原则》一书，风靡全球 Welcome to our weekly booking reading sharing + British Parliamentary Debate, language & cultural exchange meetup event which focus on informal and fun way to meet new people and cultural discussion.

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

How to be a Better Communicator Communication is everything in life Sunday, 23 February at 2pm. You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate. Hosted by the Church of Scientology of Central Ohio 1266 Dublin Road, Columbus, OH 43215 For more information, contact Rhiannon, the Event Host at 614-221-5024
