    Since founding Bridgewater nearly 50 years ago, Ray Dalio has become one of the world’s richest investors. He is widely credited with having predicted and profited from both the 1987 crash and the 2008 financial crisis. He is the founder of the world’s largest hedge fund and is one of the most successful businessmen alive, yet he professes to be seeking something more meaningful than just money or business success.
    According to Dalio, his main interest, over the last twenty years is to lead others toward “meaningful lives” and “meaningful relationships” through the application of his principles. He has written a number of books and given a Ted Talk on this topic.
    Rob Copeland is a journalist at the New York Times and was previously the longtime hedge fund beat reporter at The Wall Street Journal. In his new book “The Fund” he smashes through some of the mystique built up around Ray Dalio in recent years. He argues that very little of Dalio’s success is due to his widely promoted “Principles” and can be better explained by his ability to befriend influential people and impress them with his broad knowledge of the world, his skill at getting good publicity, and his early investment success.
    Rob interviewed hundreds of Bridgewater employees in order to write this unauthorized biography that shows Ray Dalio in a very different light.
    Dalio declined to be interviewed for the book and has threatened a lawsuit against Rob and his publisher. In today's video I interview Rob to hear his account of life at Bridgewater and whether he believes Ray Dalio’s principles are worth following.

      Maybe not to this degree, but you'd be surprised how common this is.

If this sort of behavior wasn't so lucrative and rewarded with leadership and prestige, we'd be allowed to call them monsters.

    It’s amazing how a guy makes a ton of money and then suddenly he’s a genius we need to listen to about all sorts of things. Dalio was good at making money…doesn’t mean he’s good at anything else. The self importance people of wealth ascribe to themselves is amazing.

    The argument that ex-employees will always have a bias in an interview about their former boss, can be easily answered: If they independently give the same specific descriptions of certain behaviours, it's unlikely they are all making up the same thing. Or to stay in the ex-wife comparison: If one man's 5 ex-wives tell you independent of each other, that their former husband used to eat his boogers, it's probably true.

The fact he returned a profit for millions of Americans instead of an enormous, suicide inducing loss in 2008 is evidence he knows what he is doing.
      Bill Gates, along with Steve Jobs and their partners revolutionized computer software and the way humans interact with it.

    I used to work at Bridgewater out of college, and I respect Ray's intelligence and he's a genuinely insightful person. However, there is a definite narcissistic side to him where he can get very angry and try to humiliate other employees for no appropriate reason. Everybody is forced to have opinions on other people they barely know and it wastes a lot of time. Getting "dot bombed" by people who barely know anything about you or your work is a real thing. If you don't fully buy into that stuff you'll probably lose interest. And a lot of people are pushed based on how Dalio likes them and not on some "meritocratic" criteria. Overall, Ray has his strengths and weaknesses, flaws, and insecurities like every other person.

    @lekhakaananta5864 Před 6 měsíci +28

    You may think the golf caddie origin is quite innocent, but I think it really hurts Ray's pride. The modern image of a successful man is someone who is a leader, not a servant. And using the role of a servant to get closer to rich people in order to get more economic opportunities makes you sound closer to a con artist than a captain of industry.
    Of course the truth is that humans do this all the time, at all levels of society. But as with many other social standards, the standard for a Captain of Industry is set at an unrealistic level. People who want to play that game for their own ego therefore must manufacture their own biographies, purging negative stories from their public image, not unlike aspiring supermodels eliminating calories in pursuit of their own high standards.

  • @GiGo421
    @GiGo421 Před 6 měsíci +50

    Thank you for this. I thought that Dalio’s book, Principles, was a fairly bland collection of obvious truisms pretending to be visionary revelations. Meanwhile he showed a tragic/autistic level of disregard for the role of human frailty. His vision of the well functioning organization seems to be a place where people behave like meat-computers.
    I kept thinking that he must suffer from the problem of thinking that what makes him different (being inconsiderate of other people’s feelings) is the same thing that made him successful. I also kept thinking that the inside of his organization must be a mess since he himself narrates two attempts to step away from the business where he was forced to come back and retake control.
    I look forward to reading this new book.

    • @stevengreidinger8295
      @stevengreidinger8295 Před 6 měsíci +3

      Successful entrepreneurs are much more likely to be inconsiderate people. Being extremely agreeable is at variance with meeting performance metrics that do not pertain to agreeability, and having a unique vision sometimes means telling people who do not share that vision to buzz off. I am not saying the traits of successful entrepreneurs are desirable or that Steve Jobs is someone to model our lives around. Being successful is only the same as being likable if you penalize yourself for causing conflict, hurt feelings, and stress in others. Stressing people out may be unethical, because it hurts people's health. Not doing so sometimes hurts business performance.

    • @GiGo421
      @GiGo421 Před 6 měsíci

      ​@@stevengreidinger8295 There is a difference between not being highly agreeable and being an a$$hole. The fallacy of the Steve Jobs example is that everyone who is both successful and an a$$hole points to Steve Jobs and assumes a cause and effect relationship like this:
      Being an a$$hole is what made me successful.
      I propose the relationship is more often in the other direction
      Being successful allows me to be an a$$hole.
      The thing is, once people are successful, nobody challenges their BS because their success puts them in a position of power. Is it usually possibly to tell people "No" without being an ass? Probably.
