JPMorgan releases books list for those who want to get richer (in the pocket and mind)

For many people, summer reading can be about thrillers and light novels, but if you are seeking to improve your life, JPMorgan has some suggestions.

The annual summer reading list in the northern hemisphere of the financial institution, which has become a selection of beach books highly sought after by the wealthy, offers 16 books to choose from this year, ranging from autobiography and reflections on philanthropy from Melinda French Gates to Plantir CEO forecasts, Alex Karp, for the future of Artificial Intelligence (IA).

This represents an increase compared to previous years, which usually had 10 selections. This year’s list also suggests some summer experiences, including Hill Family Estate in Napa and watching the musical “Maybe Happy Ending” on Broadway.
