“A book is a gift you can open again and again.” – Garrison Keillor
The Holiday Season is fast approaching, an opportunity for companies, organizations, and schools to gift their employees some extra food for thought! (See what we did there?) We have some great ideas lined up for you below, from brand-new Business titles to classics to alternative non-business options. We can also provide ABC Gift Certificates if you prefer to let your employees pick their own brain food.
If your imagination is sparked but you don’t see what you love in this post, please contact us for other recommendation to suit your specific needs through info@abc.nl.
We have special discounts for large quantity orders. Be sure to order on time, as large quantities may need to arrive from abroad, and international shipping can get chaotic around the festive season.
If you or your company or organization ordered a large quantity of books from us in the past twelve months, thank you for supporting our independent bookstore!
2025 Business Titles
This past year some excellent new business books were published.
Strong Ground by Brené Brown re-examines courageous leadership, The Trading Game by Gary Stevenson wonders how far you can go down the trading rabbit hole (and is a favorite of our Floris‘s), and Empire of AI by Karen Hao presents the full AI picture, warts and all, to name just three.
See the complete list of our favorite Business books published in 2025 here.
Classic Business titles
Then again, why reinvent the wheel when some titles have proven their worth over and over again?
Factfulness by the late, great Hans Rosling can open your eyes to how skewed your world view might just be, The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel examines the odd ways people view money, and Radical Candor by Kim Scott is a great aid to any manager.

Alternative gift ideas
Then again, you may wish to give the gift of NOT thinking about business!
How about the daily sly humor of the 2026 New Yorker Cartoons page-a-day calendar, philosopher Alain de Botton’s The School of Life, or A Different Kind of Power, the memoir of New Zealand’s former prime minister Jacinda Ardern?
