Book Recommendations...
Books recommended by Bill Gates, Charlie Munger, and Warren Buffett yesterday on CNBC:
Gates (he said it was a good book, though he disagreed with a few things in it): Reinventing American Health Care (or in Kindle format)
Munger (I think he said he had a hard time putting this book down): Faraday, Maxwell, and the Electromagnetic Field (or in Kindle format)
Buffett (Geithner’s book, to be released next week): Stress Test: Reflections on Financial Crises (or in Kindle format)
Some friends I spoke with during the trip to Omaha also recommended some books. I won’t mention the friends by name here in case they don’t want me to name them, but here are the books I remember (there are likely several I forgot as well):
Mastermind: How to Think Like Sherlock Holmes (or in Kindle format)
Thabo Mbeki The Dream Deferred (or in Kindle format)
Freedom's Forge: How American Business Produced Victory in World War II (or in Kindle format)
Turning Pro: Tap Your Inner Power and Create Your Life's Work (or in Kindle format)
The Artist's Way (or in Kindle format)
