PRINCIPLES by Ray Dalio | Animated Core Message 

Your animations DO NOT suck! But don't let that stop you from improving. Thanks for all you do.

Being "teachable" is such a critical character trait. One that demonstrates this realizes they may not be right, is willing to question their own beliefs, and actively solicits feedback from those around them to continually improve. Great post Nathan!

Hi Nathan: Another very useful video! A couple of comments showed that many of us are curious about the process you use to summarize a book and turn that into a video summary. The process of how to summarize a book and the sub-process of intelligent highlighting are something many of us fail at and need to improve! Though your core purpose is to summarize books and share their most valuable ideas, I’m sure you’d get a lot of traffic if you could do a video on: 1) how to summarize a book 2) how to highlight intelligently as part of a summarizing strategy 3) the google doc you’ve created to articulate the principles of how to summarize a book and 4) why explaining what you have learned to others (via RU-vid video or just telling a friend) is so useful not just to the person who hears the summary, but to the person who spends the time and effort to produce the summary.

Your pace is perfect. Time to let the message sink in and truely learn.

Well done! I’ve read most of these books and it’s interesting that your videos give me another perspective that I didn’t necessarily get while reading. Same information, different perception and summary. And still very valuable. Love it.

Pain + Reflection = Progress 1. Be radically open minded Ask for true feedbacks. What am i missing? How can i ger honest feedback? 2. Find the root cause:Try to fix that weakness. 3. Write your principles down: Write down principles where you suck.

I appreciate a lot your efforts on so many high-quality books as a higher-quality filter!

This book must be in everyone's book list!

I need that thank you. Often times, we take big steps to get around to not have to deal with a cause of suffering rather than actually being honest with ourselves and take a look at the root cause.

Your channel is by far the best one of its kind, delivering a level of quality that channels with even 10 or 20 times the subscribers don't. Keep up the great work and a big THANK YOU from Germany.

Your breakdown and outlines of these productivity books are amazing. Thank you for your time and effort.

love ray dalio great lessons to be learned in this book. definitely should be on everyone’s book list

You’re adding real value to the world, thank you for these videos.

I like your animations and layout! Many of us appreciate clean simplicity. It is less “busy” and distracting. The pacing of your animations is enough to keep it interesting but not excessive enough to distract. DON’T CHANGE. Your channel has grown this far so you’re doing something right :) Also really appreciate that there is no background music!

The service you are providing to society is commendable . I really appreciate . You are creating a win win situation for all parties involved .

I love your videos, especially when you give a little bit of your own experience and story in relation to what you’ve learned from a book 👍🏻 Can you share more about your highlighting system? It seems like your brain works in similar way to mine and I’d be really grateful to learn this from you

I want to say a big thank you to you because your videos motivated me to read books. In other words you the reason I read books. God bless you

You have a very nice voice to follow along and your graphics are very intelligent. Congratulations.

I found your channel last night & today (it's Sunday) I binge watched all your videos. I loved them. Your animations are great & your summaries reveal an education & understanding that makes you stand out from other RU-vidrs doing book summaries. If you're looking for a Blue Ocean though, you'd help out a lot of young engineering students if you had an animated FE or PE course.

Bro, your animation doesn't sucks at all! Btw, great work again mate!

Excellent - and very timely for me personally. Someone criticized your animations? I've loved them from the very first video! Thank you for all your wonderful work and all the knowledge you share with the rest of the world! I share your videos regularly with our local business book club.

Great work! And I agree, your animation is great. Thanks for doing this and keep up the great work. Some people just want to point fingers but as the old saying states: when you point fingers, remember that it's one finger pointing towards to the other and 3 pointing back to you!

I'm really, really loving this channel. Thanks very much.

Your animations are SUPER! I really enoy watching them and learning from them. Thank you :)

Amazing video! Thank you for the hard work you did for us.

What an amazing book this is. Thank you for creating this summary

Really enjoyed this - thank you. I read the book a couple of years ago but have a hard time recalling the core of the book, so this is a perfect way to recap.

Your animations and summaries are great - I refer back to them regularly

I learn better book ideas when you connect these ideas with your life experience and have example about it (like change highlighting system and find the solution for Coming to the meeting late) please do this in your future videos

Keep up the good work. Your narration is fantastic.

I wish the sound was a bit louder to be able to hear that without headphones. Trust me man, you must increase the volume

I don't care what others say about your animations. But I really loved it and it's really inspirational. Plese keep doing this..

As always, great work. Sincerely appreciate the hard work you put into these videos.

You are doing great work Nathan! Thats the core message I have for you! Thank you!

Thank u so much for investing your precious time in sharing knowledge.

Excellent stuff! Greatly appreciated. Please carry on this work because these videos are honestly worth it.

Absolutely loved this video. Thank you so much for this valuable information mate. Lot's of Love from an Australian:)

You sir, just earned a subscription. Hard work pays off.

im so glad the music in the background isnt playing lol

Your videos are great, sometimes comments are constructive but sometimes they are just naysayers. Thanks again for a great video

I just love your videos. Just... I would really love deep and spiritual books’ summaries:)

This is really good! Thank you for making this!

I love your animations. They are spot on!

Excellent summary! Many thanks

You're doing great work! I have very few RU-vid channels I subscribe to and also turn on notifications for. You are in that group because I love watching every video you make.

brother the way you share your expereince in between is just at another level!!

I like your videos, I find them very helpful. I appreciate your work.

Thanks from Chile!

Wow! You are just an amazing information curator.

Thank you so much for this video!

Thank you your animations are awesome!

This is really good. Thanks for putting it together.

As always full of useful insights, Thanks for that

This is everything a narcissistic person does not want to hear about themselves: grandiose

Thank you for the summary.

Thank you 🙏🏽

I liked your video, thank you

That's a very inspiring video.

Underated.

Love your videos❤️

I really love this video thank you

Nathan keep up the great work!

wow. a great book. thank you bro

Cheers!

Great summary Nathan. I am currently struggling with creating videos because it takes me a lot of time. I wonder how long it took you to create a video at the beggining and how long does it take you now when you have more experience and probably some great systems in place?

You are amazing

my question as I watch this video is, can "Physical" pain plus reflection equal progress. I'm speaking for someone who's putting in hours and hours in a job where they need that money to either clear a debt or maybe work on their credit or maybe even use that money for smart investments that will make them even more money in the future? this is all a question btw.

Great Animmation, Thank you so much for this summery

Thank you so much for this!!!!

Amazing 💕

Can you please share your book summary principle with me. I have recently read some books however without some set system I think I am not able use the lessons learned from them.

Excellent! Thanks a lot!

great work!!

This was great thanks man

not enough info

What's your highlighting system called?

Nice! Thanks PG

Great work 👍🏻 Thank you very much Rgds Sebastian

Thanks for the cool review

👏🏻

Be a hyper realist - that's the core principle I embraced...

Will you give out your book outline system

2:50 You need Richard Williams !!

Very interesting

Which animation software u use bro

I'd love to hear about your book summary system and how you go about finding the best parts. Could you make a video on that?

I would be interested in your book summary process as well. If you decide not to build a video series on this topic, a copy of your Google Doc's outline would be most appreciated. Thanks very much.

I didn’t see your email information

I’d like a copy.

a proverb says : learn from your mistakes

I just got done with his audio book, 14 cd's long.

Nice

Everyone was focused until you mentioned the animation part.

To the viewer: you’ll be asked to pay $10 for the product. Just FYI.

Tou are Fucking awesome!!

I highlight in diff colour on a kindle. LOL

:)

I hate how you are reviewing a book with your own experience... Shit suppose to be not bias

I bet Ray lives on a firm schedual like a dog training themsleves, he just went too far

Dude these animations are lame - like pixels
