Page 460 - Ray Dalio - Principles

Rodrigo to shape the aesthetic of what you are now holding in
your hands—doing so again solely as a gift. Thank you, Phil!

Six years ago, Jofie Ferrari-Adler, Executive Editor at
Simon & Schuster, read the principles online, found them

valuable, and explained to me why sharing this book was an
important thing for me to do to help others. He has been a
valued partner in making that happen. In exploring my
publishing options, I triangulated with others to find the best
agent available. This search led me to Jim Levine. I learned
why he is so admired by his clients as he provides his great

time, skill, and empathy. Jim guided me through the
publishing process, which led me to Jon Karp, Simon &
Schuster’s President. From the start, Jon wanted my book to
be more what I wanted it to be than what he wanted it to be,
and he helped me make it happen.

Finally, I’d like to thank my wife, Barbara, and my sons
Devon, Paul, Matt, and Mark for putting up with me and my

principles—and for giving me the time and space to create
both these principles and this book.
