As summer approaches and people ready themselves for vacations, getaways, barbecues and relaxing outdoors, suggested reading lists get released. Taking time away from work leaves enough time to dig into a new book.
JPMorgan released its 26th annual summer reading list that features books covering a wide range of topics from life advice and memoirs to inspiration and art.
"Our 2025 Summer Reading List is a celebration of curiosity's boundless power," said Darin Oduyoye, chief communications officer of J.P. Morgan Asset & Wealth Management. "This year's selections challenge us to think and explore boldly. With topics ranging from personal values to innovative frontiers such as AI, electric vehicles and the universe's wonders – this list is designed to inspire growth and forward-thinking."
