I’m pleased to share the newest nominees for Season 18 of the Next Big Idea Club!

As Season 18 is a special double season, spanning six months of publication (February to July 2022), I’ve broken the list into three parts. Here is Part One and Part Two, and below you’ll find Part Three—what I consider the most promising, thought-provoking, must-read nonfiction titles scheduled for release in June and July of 2022.

What comes next? The books will be shared with our Next Big Idea Club curators—Susan Cain, Malcolm Gladwell, Adam Grant, and Daniel Pink—who will narrow the list down to a small handful of finalists and, ultimately, two official season selections.

Authors will also be invited to create a “Book Bite” for our app, a 15-minute audio self-recording that features 5 big ideas from their book. It’s kind of like chatting with a stranger at a party—only that person just happened to write a fascinating nonfiction book!

And now, the nominees are…
