Introduction

Ray Dalio overcame an economic abyss to become one of the wealthiest men in America. In Principles, he shares the secrets to his success. The key to developing your principles is becoming a hyper-realist. Becoming a hyper-realist will allow you to view failures as learning opportunities rather than personal attacks. Principles recommends you consider your mistakes as minuscule compared to the machine that is the world. Then, you will stop using mistakes as excuses for giving up on your goals.
