Thanks to Ray Dalio's new app, I know that I have a deep-rooted fear of failure and a fear of not succeeding (and apparently, those are two very different things).
The app, Principles in Action, contains several features, but the most interactive is the "Case Studies" section, which is made up of 21 self-assessment quizzes about life in the workplace. I tried out two of these quizzes and answered challenging questions about failure and radical open-mindedness.
The app is based on Ray Dalio's 2017 best-seller "Principles." The book compiled everything Dalio learned from founding and running Bridgewater Associates, the world's largest hedge fund with over $150 billion in total assets under management. Now, the Principles in Action app lets users have the entire "Principles" book for free.
Here are some of the surprising things I learned after trying out the case studies.
One of the case studies is about "radical open-mindedness," or the ability to keep your mind as open as possible to new ideas and ways of thinking.
The first question was a straight-forward one for me. I consider myself fairly hard-headed when it comes to decision-making unless I'm trying to figure out what to have for dinner).
As a journalist, I try to be as open-minded as possible when it comes to the news, considering the content of a news outlet before the name of the outlet itself.
