"Transcendental Meditation informed his belief that a person’s main obstacle to improvement was his own fragile ego; at his firm, he would make constant, unvarnished criticism the norm, until critiques weren’t taken personally and no one held back a good idea for fear of being wrong."




You might want to pick up the current issue of the New Yorker. It's got a lengthy profile of Ray Dalio and Bridgewater.
