I’m pleased to share what I consider the most promising, must-read nonfiction titles scheduled for release in October 2024. These titles join our group of nominees for Season 25 of the Next Big Idea Club (the first group was announced here, second here, third here, and fourth here). Our Next Big Idea Club curators—Susan Cain, Malcolm Gladwell, Adam Grant, and Daniel Pink—will narrow the list down to a handful of finalists and, ultimately, two official season selections.
