For the past 26 years, JPMorgan has released a summer book list that caters to the interests of its high-wealth clientele. This year, a special committee looked at more than 1,000 reading suggestions from JPMorgan’s client advisors and came up with their 16-book list.
Darin Oduyoye, chief communications officer for JPMorgan Asset and Wealth Management, who also oversees the list, told CNBC that this year’s selections were focused “around the power of curiosity.”
“You can think of it from a reflection standpoint or transformation standpoint,” Oduyoye said.

Oduyoye said that they took input from family offices and looked at titles that aimed to prepare the next generation of leaders. Family office respondents were concerned with finding a balance between growing wealth and doing things that positively impact communities.
The list includes Shigehiro Oishi’s “Life in Three Dimensions: How Curiosity, Exploration, and Experience Make a Fuller, Better Life,” which explores happiness and finding meaning in life (the Wall Street Journal called the author’s enthusiasm “infectious”), and Suzy Welch’s “Becoming You: The Proven Method for Crafting Your Authentic Life and Career” and its related 13-step plan.
The list also includes “Raising AI: An Essential Guide to Parenting Our Future” by De Kai, which explores AI’s impact on how we live now (and will live in the future).
