He<br \/>\nbelieves that his success isn\u2019t due to anything special about him\u2014it is the<br \/>\nresult of principles he learned, largely by making mistakes, from which he<br \/>\nalso believes most people can benefit.<br \/>\nAt 68 years old, Dalio\u2019s primary objective is to pass along these principles<br \/>\nin case others find them of value.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0(LINK) Ray Dalio: &#8220;Principles: Life and Work&#8221;, (2017),\u00a0Simon &amp; Schuster (LINK) CONTENTS: PART I WHERE I\u2019M COMING FROM 1 My Call to Adventure: 1949\u20131967 2 Crossing the Threshold: 1967\u20131979 3 My Abyss: 1979\u20131982 4 My Road of Trials: 1983\u20131994 5 The Ultimate Boon: 1995\u20132010 6 Returning the Boon: 2011\u20132015 7 My Last Year and My &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/taochip.com\/?p=1081\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Ray Dalio: &#8220;Principles: Life and Work&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,12],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/taochip.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1081"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/taochip.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/taochip.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/taochip.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/taochip.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1081"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/taochip.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1081\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1088,"href":"http:\/\/taochip.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1081\/revisions\/1088"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/taochip.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1081"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/taochip.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1081"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/taochip.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1081"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
