In the live broadcast of Robin Li and Fan Deng on May 15, 2020, they recommended a book called "Principles". This book tells a different attitude towards life. The whole book is filled with examples from the author's life and career.

It explains a philosophy of life: Believe in extreme truth-seeking, extreme transparency, and constantly emphasize and summarize. It is very vivid to read and is worth reading for young people who have just entered the workplace.

The author Ray Dalio is one of the world's top investors and entrepreneurs, and the founder of the hedge fund company Bridgewater.

Since its founding, Bridgewater has earned far more for its clients than any other hedge fund in history.

Dalio believes that Bridgewater's success stems from a set of principles he pursues, and these principles are also the most important things he has learned in his life.

Dalio believes that we can view life, management, business and investment like machines and systematize them into a series of principles.

The more than 500 principles in the book will help us keep an open mind, see reality clearly, evaluate ourselves and others correctly, calmly face issues such as making decisions and building a strong team, and further understand ourselves and achieve continuous growth.

Extended information: The book is divided into three parts. The first part is the personal autobiography of the author Ray Dalio, telling the story of his journey from a middle-class American family to creating the world's largest hedge fund, Bridgewater Associates.

The second and third parts describe Ray Dalio’s experience and principles in life and work over the past few years in the form of methodology. With Dalio’s various real cases over the years, it is not only a guide to financial management.

The manual is also a philosophical book with in-depth reflections on life.
