This book by Richard Dawkins came up once on Diary of a CEO in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Ray Dalio. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
How did the replication bomb we call "life" begin and where in the world, or rather, in the universe, is it heading? Writing with characteristic wit and an ability to clarify complex phenomena (the New York Times described his style as "the sort of science writing that makes the reader feel like a genius"), Richard Dawkins confronts this ancient mystery.
“There's a book on evolution but written by Richard Dawkins. River from Eden, I think it's called.”— Ray Dalio
The guest here is Ray Dalio: Billionaire investor who founded Bridgewater Associates, which he built into the world's largest hedge fund managing about $150 billion. He is known for studying 500 years of history to predict economic and geopolitical cycles, and for his books on principles. Ray Dalio explains the five forces driving the decline of the US and UK, and how individuals can protect their future.
