JPMorgan Releases Summer Book List for Wealthy People
JPMorgan released its annual summer reading list, geared to high-net-worth people who are curious about technology, art, and finding true happiness. 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.

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).

The one trait CEOs ‘would kill for' in an employee — according to famed business maven
Execution is killer. A Harvard-trained career expert has revealed the most 'underrated' quality that employers are looking for from new hires. Suzy Welch, a Harvard grad who currently serves as a professor at NYU Stern School of Business, revealed in a column for CNBC that the 'most underrated' skill of highly successful people is execution. Advertisement Recently, one of Welch's students came to her complaining about the results of a 360 feedback report from her former bosses and coworkers prior to getting her MBA, saying that they were 'atrocious' — but Welch disagreed. 'Stop beating yourself up!' she said to the student. 'Any CEO would kill for someone like you. I'm serious. Look at this feedback! It says you're conscientious, reliable, decisive…' 'But I want to be a leader,' the student protested. 'This just says I'm an operator.' Advertisement Welch immediately clocked the issue, one that she said is common with her students in their 20s and 30s. Suzy Welch revealed that the 'most underrated' skill of highly successful people is execution. KayExam/ – Rather than recognizing the student's skills and ideas, like the ability to recognize trends or her detailed data analysis, or saying that she inspired the team, the feedback praised the student's ability to execute — 'to get stuff done. Fast. Early. Perfectly. Always.' These highly ambitious students who aspire to have impressive careers lack something that Welch learned with decades of experience. Advertisement 'Execution is your career's killer app,' Welch declared. 'Time and time again, I've been in the room where it happens — where promotion decisions get made, and sadly, sometimes where 'departure' decisions happen as well,' she explained. 'And time and time again, I've seen a person's ability to execute be the deciding factor.' A person's skills to anticipate any roadblocks and fix them, to be dependable around deadlines and tasks, to get things done both quicker and at a higher quality, and their ability to take accountability for actions and outcomes are all qualities that are essential to a CEO, Welch explained. 'Their tendency to walk a whole lot more than talk,' she said. Advertisement Welch believes that 'every boss in the world' wants execution. bnenin – 'It's funny. When people are early in their careers, they almost always understand that integrity is essential in business,' Welch noticed. 'It takes a few years to come to see that great execution is a form of integrity, too.' Welch believes that 'every boss in the world' wants execution — small stuff included, such as getting to work early and going to meetings prepared. But what they really want to see, she said, is when employees say, 'I've got this,' and then prove that they do. It is true that sometimes the execution comes more naturally to some people while others have to put in more effort. But while good ideas and people skills do matter in the workplace, 'the cold hard truth of business is that the biggest, most unsung career amplifier and accelerator is the quality of your execution.'

Here's JPMorgan's summer reading list for the wealthy for 2025
The top summer reading list for the wealthy this year includes books on happiness, resilience, artificial intelligence and the future of the U.S. dollar. JPMorgan's annual summer reading list, which has become the go-to selection of beach books for the wealthy, offers up 16 titles this year — from Suzy Welch's career guide and Melinda French Gates' reflections on her life and philanthropy to Palantir CEO Alex Karp's predictions for AI and Kenneth Rogoff's treatise on the dollar. The list, now in its 26th year, was compiled from more than 1,000 suggestions from JPMorgan's client advisors and whittled down by a special review committee. "Our focus was around the power of curiosity for this year's list," said Darin Oduyoye, chief communications office for JPMorgan asset and wealth management, who oversees the list. "You can think of it from a reflection standpoint or transformation standpoint." The Inside Wealth newsletter by Robert Frank is your weekly guide to high-net-worth investors and the industries that serve them. Subscribe here to get access today. Oduyoye said JPMorgan also received input from family offices — the private investment arms of wealthy families — and many cited the need to guide the next generation of wealth holders. With over $100 trillion expected to pass from older generations to spouses and their children, family offices have made educating and teaching the next generation a top priority. "From our family office survey, what we heard loud and clear was that values are very important to the next generation," he said. "As they're thinking about the adult leadership of the next generation for the family operating committee or business, they want to make sure these people are prepared. It's about how to think about that from a psychological perspective as well, to make sure you're balancing, not just the prosperity of wealth, but also the things that you can do to make impact both within your community and within your business." Along with the list of 16 books, and increase from prior lists, which had 10, this year's Summer Reading List also includes suggested summer experiences, from the DATALAND exhibit at The Grand LA, to the SailGP racing series and the Hill Family Estate in Napa, California. Here is the full list of books:

How to find your purpose with author and professor Suzy Welch
Author of 'Becoming You' and NYU Stern Professor Suzy Welch breaks down her guide to help us find purpose with CNN's Michael Smerconish. She explains how she had been working on her methodology in a lot of different ways for about 15 years, and then started to test it on herself to figure out her own next step. She says that led her to the classroom, which ended up being the place where she says she felt "exquisitely alive," which is exactly how we feel when we're living our purpose.
