About the OpenPrinciples Bootcamp
- Do you have problems finding, remembering, or acting on your lessons / life principles / EA principles? Or do you like to build your pipeline and the "second brain" system for storing, discovering, reflecting, strategizing, auto reminding, prompted measuring, iterating and open-sourcing your life principles?
- The OpenPrinciples Bootcamp is a 3wks, 2.5 **hr/wk mandatory + 3hr/wk optional commitment (1h/wk workshop + 1h/wk group discussion + speaker sessions + other activities). It is online and remote with activities taking place in America/European Time Zone. It is free with optional paid 1-on-1 coaching opportunities.
- This is the 2nd cohort of the program, we have validated our methodology through our 1st cohort with attendees reported being 44% more principled on average through our 18 hours program.
- You will learn about the principle-driven process behind the success of Ray Dalio, Naval Ravikant, and Charlie Munger, and how you can pave your way to success by using similar methods as them. You will turn principles into habits while working and meeting weekly with small groups of people with similar interests.
- All of our group activities will take place online, mostly at the around 3:30pm - 6:30pm UTC on Saturdays, which is:

Who are the organizers — OpenPrinciples
- OpenPrinciples.org is a project supported by the Effective Altruism community. We are building a wiki-style community for sharing and collecting principles for our daily lives, and a AI assistant to help people apply and evaluate those principles. It has been the team’s long-term interest to collect, learn and iterate on life principles and to find the best ways to apply them. We have benefited immensely through this habit and believe that thinking with principles is a habit that can be developed and want to give everyone the chance to do it.
- Our team is made of principle-oriented people who also want to help the world in an effective way. We have been cofounders of Effective Altruism UWaterloo and IBM Chapters, multiple YC-interviewed startups, and have experience organizing fellowships-like programs such as AI Safety Camp.
Why you should apply
- The principles-driven method of growth (find, conclude, act, and iterate your life principles) is one of the most effective ways for people to grow. It has been one of the most important growth factors for people like Benjamin Franklin, Ray Dalio, Charlie Munger and Confucius. This way of living is very systematic and has some simple guidelines we can follow.
- We all make decisions by principles - they are our values, biases, habits, methods, mental models; or what we define them as “ways of doing”, “ways of thinking”, and “ways of how to see the world”. When we do not pay attention to the principles we use, we tend to have a hard time distinguishing their impact, and live our life following our old habits and grow slowly. The principles-driven way of growth asks us to be mindful of the principles we use, be intentional about their effects, and be active in iterating and adopting better principles.
