The 2025 Reading List

As the end of the year approaches, it’s time to review our reading list—what we learned and what we’re planning to read in 2025. Reflecting on the books that shaped our perspectives can provide valuable insights as we head into a new year.

This year, I discovered the "Harvard Business Review" book series, especially those aimed at new managers. These titles cover crucial topics like artificial intelligence, strategic thinking, and the IT sector, offering both theoretical insights and practical advice for modern leadership.

Another impactful read was Augusto Cury's Intoxica??o Digital, which explores the connection between dopamine and artificial intelligence. This book investigates how our digital consumption impacts our brain chemistry, highlighting the addictive nature of technology in our lives.

To balance the information overload we face, I recommend Ryan Holiday's Stillness is the Key. In a world that never stops moving, Holiday emphasizes the importance of finding moments of calm and reflection, which can lead to greater clarity and effectiveness.

For anyone involved in volunteer projects, John Bevere’s Multiply Your God-Given Potential is a must-read. It offers practical tools to harness unique abilities for greater impact, encouraging readers to explore their potential in meaningful ways.

Lastly, I revisited Hidden Potential by Adam Grant, which remains one of the standout publications from last year. Grant’s exploration of how to unlock hidden potential—both in ourselves and others—encourages us to look beyond conventional measures of success.

As we wrap up this year and look forward to 2025, it’s essential to consider what we want to read next. Engaging with literature that challenges our thinking is key to personal and professional growth.
