Darin Oduyoye, Chief Communications Officer of J.P. Morgan Asset & Wealth Management, described the selections as “a celebration of curiosity’s boundless power,” with subjects covering artificial intelligence, electric vehicles and the wonders of the universe.
A highlight of this year’s list is the introduction of the firm’s first Economic Spotlight. Authored by Harvard professor and former IMF Chief Economist Kenneth Rogoff, Our Dollar, Your Problem examines the U.S. dollar’s historic dominance in global finance and its uncertain future amid rising challenges such as cryptocurrencies and geopolitical tensions.
The reading list also features titles like Life in Three Dimensions by psychologist Shigehiro Oishi, which explores the concept of psychological richness in life; Becoming You by Suzy Welch, offering a guide to authentic living and career-building; and Inevitable by Mike Colias, which delves into the rapid transformation of the automotive industry toward electric vehicles.
Continuing from last November’s launch, the 2025 NextList spotlights innovative experiences shaping culture and technology. This includes DATALAND, the world’s first museum dedicated to AI arts and digital ecosystems, set to open in Los Angeles. Also featured is the Tony-nominated musical Maybe Happy Ending in New York, which tells the story of service robots questioning their existence. The list further highlights Napa Valley’s Hill Family Estate winery and the high-speed global sailing championship SailGP.
J.P. Morgan’s selection process involved the review of hundreds of submissions from Client Advisors around the world. The chosen titles were evaluated for their timeliness, quality and appeal to a global audience.
