At the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting, Charles Munger and Warren Buffett suggested two books. The first is called Deep Simplicity by John Gribbin. It is currently published and available in London. It will be here soon, I’m sure. Gribbin is the author of In Search of Shroedinger’s Cat: Quantum Physics and Reality. It’s one of the best explanations of quantum physics for laymen that has been written.

The second book is Les Schwab Price in Performance: Keep It Going. It’s the story of success in a small business, and is written by the founder and namesake of the Les Schwab Tire Centers. Mentioned at the Berkshire Hathaway meeting, it apparently offers outstanding advice in the area of compensation plans in small businesses.

I’ve never had a book recommendation from this meeting that lets me down. I may not agree with every book recommended, but even those I didn’t agree with opened lines of deep study and research.
