Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft and billionaire philanthropist, recently shared a list of four books that he recommends reading for the 2024 season. Although these recommendations are typically for summer in the USA, they can be just as valuable for winter in the southern hemisphere. Gates explains that these books are centered around the theme of service to others, exploring why we do it, the challenges we face, and why it is still important.
As someone who is heavily involved in charitable work through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Gates believes that the concept of service is more relevant than ever in today’s world. In a time of divisive politics and headline-grabbing conflicts, he finds inspiration in those who selflessly help others and believes that we can all be more generous with our own lives.
The four books recommended by Gates reflect his passion for inspiring a sense of service in others. These are texts that he has recently read and found to be connected by the common theme of serving others.
Among the headlines of the day, Gates’ book recommendations stand out as a reminder of the importance of looking beyond ourselves and finding ways to make a positive impact on the world around us.
