世界最大のヘッジファンド「ブリッジウォーター・アソシエイツ」を作ったRay Dalioがひとの生き方と仕事の取り組み方を説く本。
著者の成功は無知を知ることにある。Principlesに則って判断をすれば楽になるが、多くの人はそれが出来ない。
Deal with Reality
Weigh second and third-order consequences. For example, the first-order consequence of exercise is pain and time. Second-order consequence there is health and beautiful body.
5 Step Process to get what you want out of life
- Have clear goals.
2. Identify and don’t tolerate the problems that stand in the way of your achieving those goals.
3. Accurately diagnose the problems to get at their root causes.
4. Design plans that will get you around them.
5. Do what’s necessary to push these designs through to results.
Be Radically Open-Minded
Sincerely believe that you might not know the best possible path and recognize that your ability to deal well with “not knowing” is more important than whatever it is you do know.
Understand That People Are Wired Very Differently
他の人が一見不可解な振る舞いをするのは人間の脳の中が違うからである。
Bridgewaterの中で40年間蓄積された判断方法。年次や職位によらない。Thoughtful disagreementは良い判断をするのに欠かせない。判断をコンピュータに記録した。
Trust in Radical Truth and Radical Transparency
Brigdewaterのバックオフィスを別の会社に併合するというアイデアが生まれた時もそれをバックオフィスの全社員に考えを明らかにして進めた。
嘘にも軽いのと悪いものがある。悪い嘘を吐く人は直らない。
Cultivate Meaningful Work and Meaningful Relationship
Bridgewaterが小さかった頃は健康保険プランを用意しなかった。もし必要な従業員がいれば著者がお金を払った。その後健康保険プランに入ったが著者からすればそれは自分自身が保険に入ったようなものだった。歯科保険は自動車保険みたいなものなの。個々人が自分で責任を持つべき。
To me, a meaningful relationship is one in which people care enough about each other to be there whenever someone needs support and they enjoy each other’s company so much that they can have great times together both inside and outside of work.
Generosity is good and entitlement is bad
ニューヨークからコネチカットのオフィスまでバスを走らせた時に不満を言われたこと。
Don’t worry about looking good—worry about achieving your goals.
Remember to reflect when you experience pain.
Remember this: The pain is all in your head. If you want to evolve, you need to go where the problems and the pain are. By confronting the pain, you will see more clearly the paradoxes and problems you face. Reflecting on them and resolving them will give you wisdom. The harder the pain and the challenge, the better.
Get and Stay in Sync
議論をして意見の違いを理解して意思決定をする。この際の道のりがはっきりしているべき。
4.3 Be open-minded and assertive at the same time.
議論のコツ
Navigate between the different levels of the conversation. When considering an issue or situation, there should be two levels of discussion: the case at hand and the relevant principles that help you decide how the machine should work. You need to clearly navigate between these levels in order to handle the case well, test the effectiveness of your principles, and improve the machine so similar cases will be handled better in the future.
人の行動のパターンを見て判断する。1度きりの事をよーく考えてもダメ。
