During January 2025, broadcaster and author Nihal Arthanayake is recommending a book a day via his Instagram account. As I can’t see these being recorded on a single website or page, I am doing so here. When holding events and speaking publicly, I have found book recommendations one of the things that most generates interest. Yes, people still love a book. Or an audiobook, or both.
So, Nihal’s list, I am devoting a page to it here. Next month, I will start to post some recommendations from myself and others, but now Nihal has the floor, with these choices:
- Humankind: A Hopeful History, by Rutger Bregman. Recommendation here.
- The Creative Act: A Way of Being, by Rick Rubin and Neil Strauss. Recommendation here.
- The Persuaders: Winning Hearts and Minds in a Divided Age, by Anand Giridharadas. Recommendation here.
- Life Is Sad And Beautiful, by Hussain Manawer. Recommendation here.
- Lobster, by Lollie McNish. Recommendation here.
- The Good Immigrant, edited by Nikesh Shukla. Recommendation here.
The buying links are to Blackwells, and my image (with book one) above was taken in Orpington Waterstones. Why not buy your hard copy books from an independent bookshop? I bought Nihal’s book Let’s Talk in Beckenham Bookshop. It, too, is recommended. This time, by me.
