The longlist has been released for the 2025 Porchlight Business Book Awards and can be seen here. The four category winners will be named on January 28 in New York City.
"Taken together, these 40 books offer a kind of panoramic view of the world we're building. You see the pressures, the possibilities, and the ideas that will meaningfully shape the years ahead," managing director Sally Haldorson wrote. "And running through all of them is a shared belief: the future is not something hurtling toward us, but something we actively influence. They 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."
