WealthManagement.com editors have worked their way through scores of business books published in 2021 to recommend the 12 that are the most relevant to financial advisors. The titles on the 2021 list investigate such themes as risk management, behavioral economics, business history, time management, decision-making, wealth inequality and customer service. Each will cause you to see the financial world in a new light.

As an added bonus, we cherry-pick the key themes each book delivers. As in years past, the list includes a worthy novel set in the world of finance whose fictional themes offer lessons just as pertinent as those of the nonfiction titles.
