Each May, J.P. Morgan Private Bank releases its summer reading list, often serving as a 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 communication, artificial intelligence, Formula One, whiskey, hidden vacation spots and the art collection of Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz.
Authors love being on the list as well since J.P. Morgan buys thousands of books to hand out and since clients often refer the books to others. Here is J.P. Morgan's 25th Annual Summer Reading List, along with summaries of the books, provided by the bank:Sharing the latest research on what makes conversations effective, Charles Duhigg reveals how we can level up our communications and make stronger connections.
