For This Year's Graduates
Congratulations! You’ve completed the first phase of your life and are going on to the next. As I see it, life exists in three phases. In the first, we are children and students preparing for life’s adventures. During this phase, we learn and are dependent on others. We eventually evolve into the second phase, in which we go out on our adventures striving to get what we want; in this phase we work, and others become dependent on us. We do this until we evolve into the third phase, in which we want others to be successful without us even more than we want to be more successful ourselves so that those we care about can be well and we can be free of obligations.
As many of you graduates are now transitioning from your first phase to your second, and I am transitioning from my second to my third, I’m eager to pass along to you the principles that helped me succeed. Passing my principles along is the main reason I published Principles: Life & Work. Having heard from an enormous number of people that it’s been invaluable to them and recognizing that it’s nearly 600 pages and that cost could be a barrier for some, I’ve distilled it into a 30-minute, 8 episode ultra mini-series adventure called “Principles for Success” which I’m releasing today.
It’s entertaining, easy to understand—and it’s free! I hope you enjoy the series and I’d love to hear your feedback on directly on Facebook, Twitter, or right here on LinkedIn.

6yHello Mr. Dalio, Thank you so much for sharing such tremendously valuable wisdom. Xisco Romero recommended me to read Principles and I loved every single piece of it. I am from Puerto de Andratx (Mallorca) and I recently graduated in finance in Pennsylvania while playing tennis.
