<p>Today, I am talking to a returning guest and good friend, Ray Dalio. Ray is the founder and co-chairman 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.   </p><p>Ray genuinely shares the deepness of thoughts and what is his views on passing on your principles to others and picking up theirs and learn from it, the unappreciated value of journaling, knowing the right approach to having better relationships through thoughtful disagreements, the lessons we can learn from history, and the three things that mainly influence us and our society. We also exchange thoughts on asking approval and validation from others, how we react to others out of our emotional state, and how we can be of service to the world.        </p><p><i>This episode was filmed at Soho Works: 10 Jay Street.</i></p><p>What We Discuss:</p><ul><li>00:00:00 Intro</li><li>00:03:00 The first time you fear meeting someone</li><li>00:04:17 How did you develop clarity?</li><li>00:08:13 The smartness of your move determines the outcome</li><li>00:10:55 When did you start journaling?</li><li>00:18:19 The arc of life</li><li>00:21:08 The three people you must have in your life</li><li>00:25:12 The biggest problem of our society</li><li>00:29:50 How to win the debate of life</li><li>00:32:20 Looking at the sequence of discovering the truth</li><li>00:38:03 Three big things that influence us</li><li>00:47:00 The typical cycle for a new system</li><li>00:49:16 It’s more human nature than the system</li><li>00:57:26 Producing a reaction that becomes instinctual</li><li>01:03:36 Four important decisions we make in life</li><li>01:10:25 How do you approach money?</li><li>01:14:27 Don’t worry
