The Winners of the Best Business Books of 2025, Selected by Porchlight

Описание: Despite the many delayed and cancelled flights, this year’s Business Book Awards and Publishing Industry Party was a success!

Being in a shared space with all of our publishing industry friends and business partners made us immensely proud to work with people who share our belief in the power of the written word.

This year, we celebrated "books made by and for humans." As Managing Director Sally Haldorson stated in her introduction to the Business Book Awards ceremony, the books we selected "offer practical ways to make better ethical, strategic, and humane decisions—and to take the kind of purposeful action that supports stronger organizations, healthier communities, and a more hopeful future."

To further explain why books are essential, we premiered a video about the importance of books, made entirely of video submissions from the longlisted authors of the 2025 Porchlight Business Book Awards. ▶️ Watch it here:    • Why Books Matter: As Told by the Authors o...
