What The Rich Are Reading Right Now

[image] Today’s workaholic wealthy rarely have time to sit back and read a good book. Except maybe for a few weeks in August. Which is why each May, J.P. Morgan Private Bank releases its summer reading list – a kind of Oprah’s Book Club for billionaires. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the list, now called the J.P. Morgan Summer Reading List. The 10 books are carefully curated to match the tastes and preoccupations of J.P. Morgan’s wealthy clients. This year’s list includes books on effective communicating, artificial intelligence, Formula 1, whiskey, hidden vacation spots and the art collection of Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz. J.P. Morgan creates the list by surveying its more than 35,000 client advisors and employees around the world and asking about the topics clients are talking and thinking about most. This year the advisors sent more than 700 recommended book titles, which were then whittled down by a committee based on timeliness and appeal. “Our clients run the gamut from business owners and entrepreneurs to philanthropists and art collectors,” said Darin Oduyoye, chief communications office of J.P. Morgan Asset and Wealth Management, who has spearheaded the list since it’s founding. “There are books to match up to each of those groups.” Clients get an elegant J.P. Morgan-branded box with a book or two from the list specifically recommended for them by the client advisor, who also includes a handwritten note and commemorative bookmark. The list helps connect advisors with clients during the slow summer months. It also helps with client events, since authors on the list often agree to do special dinners or speaking events for J.P. Morgan clients. Authors love being on the list as well, since J.P. Morgan buys thousands of books to hand out – and clients often refer the books to others. “The list is something that both clients and colleagues, and our communities, look forward to,” Oduyoye said. This year’s 25th anniversary edition features a special “Anniversary Spotlight” – highlighting Water.org, the charity founded by Gary White and Matt Damon, and their book “The Worth of Water.” Here is this year’s full J.P. Morgan Summer Reading List: • “Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection” by Charles Duhigg • “The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness” by Jonathan Haidt • “Giants: Art from the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys” published by Phaidon • “Brave New Words: How AI Will Revolutionize Education (and Why That’s a Good Thing)” by Salman Khan • “Love & Whiskey: The Remarkable True Story of Jack Daniel, His Master Distiller Nearest Green, and the Improbable Rise of Uncle Nearest” by Fawn Weaver • “The Formula: How Rogues, Geniuses, and Speed Freaks Reengineered F1 into the World’s Fastest-Growing Sport” by Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg • “Secret Stays: Pioneering Hosts of the New Chic” by Melinda Stevens, Issy von Simson and Tabitha Joyce • “Finding Fortunato: How a Peruvian Adventure Inspired the Sweet Success of a Family Chocolate Business” by Adam Pearson • “Uptime: A Practical Guide to Personal Productivity and Wellbeing” by Laura Mae Martin • “The Secret Society of Aunts & Uncles” by Jake Gyllenhaal and Greta Caruso • Anniversary Spotlight: “The Worth of Water: Our Story of Chasing Solutions to the World’s Greatest Challenge” by Gary White and Matt Damon They forgot to add "Passive Trading" to the list.
