A life anchored by meditation: Laurence Freeman in conversation with Ray Dalio

In a conversation recorded in 2013, legendary investor Ray Dalio shares how more than 40 years of meditation profoundly shaped his life and career, deeming it the "biggest influence" on his success. He discusses its role in cultivating equanimity, creativity, and a unique detachment that enabled him to navigate high-stakes decisions and prioritize service over ego. Dalio advocates for meditation's physiological benefits, its ability to foster thoughtful disagreement in leadership, and its power to instill a sense of connection to the whole, ultimately believing it can even help address societal corruption through a deeper, more connected perspective.
