Recession-defying American Financier Reveals How his Business Has Become the World´s Most Successful in Its Field.

Business Insider, 25 October 2010

The international finance world was stunned when Ray Dalio, the head of the USA´s number one hedge fund, Bridgewater, revealed in August that his company had made billions more than any other hedge fund worldwide in the previous year (returning a record 38% yield on one $50 billion dollar fund).

Now Business Insider magazine has revealed that Ray Dalio attributes his success to Transcendental Meditation, which he has practised for 35 years.

In a video interview online he explained why he has made a donation of $1.23 million to David Lynch´s charity, which teaches Transcendental Meditation to young people worldwide, and why he pays for all his employees to learn the TM technique.

“I think it’s the single most important reason for whatever success I’ve had … I notice a difference from the moment I start to meditate. I can be stressed or tired and immediately I will get very rested and relaxed and the stress will flow off me. I'll finish meditation feeling refreshed and centered, and that feeling will cary throughout the day. It's a heck of a return on an investment of twenty minutes!”

Another financier who is a TM fan, the Business Insider adds, is Bob Jones, the CIO of Global Investment bank, who left his video testimony online.
