Ivanka Trump has shared a list of the top 12 books that shaped her year. As the year comes to an end, the daughter of President Trump took to X to pen a list of all the books that left an impact on her this year. In a detailed string of tweets, she explained how "Each one shifted my perspective, some softly, others profoundly. Some I return to again and again, not just for insight, but for alignment." Scroll down to see the complete list. Ivanka Trump's complete list of book recommendations for 2025 explored: 1) The Women by Kristin HannahIn her tweet on X, Ivanka Trump noted that this novel chronicles a story of "courage, resilience and sisterhood" with a backdrop of war. "It restores women to the center of history and reminds us that some of the bravest acts of service are in the shadows," she penned. 2. Homer’s The Odyssey Ivanka Trump explained that, each year, she rereads some of the books her kids have been assigned in school. This year, she went through The Odyssey again for the fourth time alongside her daughter, Arabella. "The Odyssey honors the long arc of adventure: trials, temptation, wonder, and the resolve it takes to press on," she said of the book. 3. Ishmael by Daniel Quinn According to Trump, the book is a "quiet, radical dialogue" that forces us to question our definition of what being "civilized" is. It also makes us question "what we've traded away to sustain it." 4. The Creative Act by Rick Rubin The businesswoman described this book as: "A meditation on perceiving the world as art in motion and on discipline not as constraint, but as devotion." 5. The Choice by Dr. Edith Eger For her fifth recommendation, she touted the piece as "proof that even in profound darkness," freedom is a decision made within oneself. 6. The Art of Learning by Josh Waitzkin "A book about mastery through presence and the beauty of deliberate practice." 7. Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach According to Ivanka, the book is a "fable for those unwilling to live within borrowed limits." 8. The Almanack of Naval "Ravikant offers clarity on wealth, wisdom, and happiness. This book is modern stoicism, applied," she remarked. 9. The Lessons of History – Will and Ariel Durant "A sweeping distillation of centuries of human civilization. Power, culture, war, religion, and economics reduced to their enduring patterns. It offers the long view, reminding us that perspective, more than progress, is the rarest form of wisdom." 10. The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell Ivanka Trump touted the book as a "luminous exploration" of how our "private lives echo timeless myths." 11. A History of Western Philosophy by Bertrand Russell According to her, the book is an "intellectual pilgrimage through the architecture of human thought." 12. The Pursuit of Happiness by Jeffrey Rosen For her penultimate reccomendation, she said that the book is especially meaningful as America draws closer to its 25th anniversary. "this book is a reminder that our Founders saw happiness as a pursuit rooted in virtue and discipline," she remarked. 13. Toward a Meaningful Life by Simon Jacobson She said of the book: "Purpose is found not in ambition, but in faith and service." Ivanka Trump also gave a special shoutout to pieces that she said are always on her nightstand: Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations, Eckhart Tolle's Stillness Speaks, A Poem for Every Night of the Year (edited by Allie Esiri), and The Essential Rumi by Coleman Barks. She concluded her list by soliciting recommendations from her followers for her "reading list for the year ahead." Stay tuned to SoapCentral for more.
