内容简介

Ray Dalio does not want you to read this book.

Late last year, when the billionaire founder of Bridgewater Associates, the largest hedge fund on the planet, announced that he was stepping down from the company he started out of his apartment nearly 50 years ago, the news made headlines around the world. Dalio cultivated an aura of international admiration and fame thanks to his company’s eye-popping success, coupled with a mystique he encouraged with frequent media appearances, celebrity hobnobbing, and his bestselling book, Principles. In The Fund, award-winning New York Times journalist Rob Copeland punctures this carefully-constructed narrative of the benevolent business titan, exposing his much-promoted “principles” as one of the great feats of hubris in modern memory―in practice, they encouraged a toxic culture of paranoia and backstabbing.

The Fund is a page-turning, stranger-than-fiction journey into a rarefied world of wealth and power. It offers an unflinching look at the pain so often caused by the “radical transparency” Dalio has described as a core tenet of his recipe for business success and a meaningful life. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with those inside and around the firm, Copeland takes readers into the room as former FBI director Jim Comey kisses Dalio's ring, recent Pennsylvania Senate candidate David McCormick drinks the Kool-Aid, and a rotating cast of memorable characters grapple with their personal psychological and moral limits―all under the watchful eye of their charismatic leader.

This is a cautionary tale for anyone convinced that the ability to make lots of money has anything at all to do with unlocking the principles of human nature.

    这不就是toxic的企业环境么?佩服在里面呆得住的人,这心理素质得多强啊。当年翻开principle一章都没读下去的我,还是有点眼力见儿的。在看下Dalio的星盘,太阳狮子,月亮水瓶,还有一堆聚集在处女,也太准了。此书的另外一个重要作用就是对“投资大神”去魅,真的能做到top level的,哪个没点内幕消息,这个市场并不是一个绝对公平的游戏场,出来出书立传的投资人,99%是用来宣传自己,内在的东西哪有那么容易告诉你。01-22

    职涯丰富的同学大概经历过某种某些程度的霸凌。足够幸运、或随大流的人很难理解。这本书里有很多例子,比秋天那本马斯克读物更过瘾,因为多是访自当事人,作者文笔也畅快 - 无论哈佛天才还是中老年高管,在Ray的Tyranny下面都不堪一击,所有的信心尊严都会决堤溃坝。一走了之才能避免无尽的精神折磨。。且慢,魔鬼leader升维PUA还包括,把你被批斗的对话,崩溃大哭的场面都收录到他的案例,浓缩成一本国际畅销的《原则》。至于质疑什么MBTI的结果还有员工绩效记分卡里他本人为啥不是偶像级,还有秉烛夜谈环节对着一众女孩唱黄色小曲,只算是神ego最小儿科的表征。11-13

    资管行业,菜是原罪(或者说生在地球,菜是原罪)。Dalio粗暴对待所有人(这个戏码在这种企业中并不新鲜),但作者落脚还是桥水这些年太菜了(不然他怎么和乔布斯区分)。当然无论菜不菜,看完这本书你可能都不想和Dalio做朋友,这是另一个维度的事情—很重要的维度。另外拿亲中俄抨击Dalio似乎很在理,可惜最powerful的一群美国人也一样离不开MBS,所以powerful people都一样啦。11-12

    得到听书1、桥水基金的业绩,不是一直名列前茅,而是过去十年表现平平,甚至不如大盘指数。2、达利欧推崇的内部评价体系,不是真正做到人人平等,而是存在诸多问题,比如资深员工的评价权重更大。3、达利欧在《原则》畅销后四处演讲,不是专注公司发展,而是沉溺于个人名利,引发内部不满。4、我们不应把名人写在书里、到处演讲的内容奉为圭臬,而要用批判的眼光审视他们言行的一致性04-27

    颠覆了我对Dalio的认知,排除因为立场不同可能的夸大,书本身可读性很强。12-10
