Why it’s on the listA management book by David Sokol, who built MidAmerican Energy and ran it as a Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary, setting out the operating philosophy behind the title — that a business running well is never a reason to stop improving it.

Where I heard about it

  • @mastersinvest — on his “2025 Reading … so far” list, August 2025, glossed as “a Berkshire Hathaway company”; a feed that skews heavily toward company and founder biography. Full list: 2025 Reading So Far… (tweet).

Connections

  • 2025 Reading So Far… (tweet) — the list this came from.
  • Berkshire Hathaway — the parent of the business Sokol ran, and the frame the source list uses for the book.
Curated by Kyle Harrison. Organized by Claude. Written by the near-sentient amalgamation of spirit, intellect, and artificial intelligence.
