Morgan Asset and Wealth Management, who oversees the list, said family offices are especially interested in books on generational transition, since many are managing the transfer of wealth to their children or family. Of particular interest to family offices is the book &#8220;Mattering,&#8221; by Jennifer Breheny Wallace, Oduyoye said. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Her message is resonating with next-generation family leaders \u2014 centered on purpose, identity, and how rising decision-makers define what they want to pursue \u2014 especially as families navigate leadership transition and legacy,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n<p>Here is the full list of books:<\/p>\n<div class=\"ArticleBody-blockquote\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;How Great Ideas Happen: The Hidden Steps Behind Breakthrough Success,&#8221; <\/strong>by George Newman<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;The Infinity Machine: Demis Hassabis, DeepMind, and the Quest for Superintelligence,&#8221; <\/strong>by Sebastian Mallaby<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;AI for Good: How Real People Are Using Artificial Intelligence to Fix Things That Matter,&#8221; <\/strong>by Josh Tyrangiel<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;America: The Imagination of a Nation,&#8221; <\/strong>by Assouline and Joel Stein<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Crisis Engineering: Time-Tested Tools for Turning Chaos into Clarity,&#8221; <\/strong>by Marina Nitze, Matthew Weaver and Mikey Dickerson<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;The Coming Storm: Power, Conflict and Warnings from History,&#8221; <\/strong>by Odd Arne Westad<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Mattering: The Secret to a Life of Deep Connection and Purpose,&#8221; <\/strong>by Jennifer Breheny Wallace<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Coachable: How the Greatest Performers Reach Their Highest Potential,&#8221; <\/strong>by Ric Bucher<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;The Stimulated Mind: Future-Proof Your Brain from Dementia and Stay Sharp at Any Age,&#8221; <\/strong>by Dr. Tommy Wood<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Light and Thread,&#8221; <\/strong>by Han Kang<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;<strong>Irreplaceable: 60 of Humanity&#8217;s Most Treasured Places,&#8221; <\/strong>by the World Monuments Fund, with contributions by B\u00e9n\u00e9dicte de Montlaur, Andr\u00e9 Aciman, Andrew Solomon and Brinda Somaya<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Keith Haring in 3D,&#8221; <\/strong>by Larry Warsh and Glenn Adamson, with contributions from Dieter Buchhart, David Galloway, Francis M.
