Thinking Physics: Understandable Prac-
tical Reality by Lewis Carroll Epstein
There’s another great book called Think-
ing Physics. I open this one all the time. 
I love on the back cover how it has this

great litt le pitch that says, “The only book used in both grade 
school and graduate school.” It’s true. It’s all simple physics 
puzzles that can be explained to a twelve-year-old child and 
can be explained to a twenty-five-year-old grad student in 
physics. They all have fundamental insights in physics. They’re 
all kind of tricky, but anyone can get to the answer through 
purely logical reasoning. [4]
The Lessons of History by Will and Ariel Durant
This is a great book I really like that summarizes some of the 
larger themes of history; it’s very incisive. And unlike most 
history books, it’s actually really small, and it covers a lot of 
ground. [7]
The Sovereign Individual: Mastering the Transition to the 
Information Age by James Dale Davidson and Lord William

Poor Charlie’s Almanack: The Wit and 
Wisdom of Charles T. Munger by Charlie 
Munger (edited by Peter Kaufman)
This masquerades as a business book, 
but it’s really just Charlie Munger (of 
Berkshire Hathaway)’s advice on overcoming oneself to live a 
successful and virtuous life. [7] [80]

This is the best book I’ve read in the last year. Physics, poetry, 
philosophy, and history packaged in a very accessible form.
