“I love Christmas music and I’ve put together a list of some of my favorites: classic and modern songs, from the United States and around the world“Gate explained on your blog.
Bill Gates’ literary recommendations begin with three works of nonfiction that “came to mind right away” when he started writing the list. These are the Bill Gates’ favorite books of the year 2023:

The harmony of the cell de Siddhartha Mukherjee
Mukherjee is a science popularizer known for his book The Emperor of All Evil: A Biography of Cancer with which he won a Pulitzer Prize. Also as an oncologist he has written about what Gates has called “the building blocks of life”: the cells that make up living organisms.
The harmony of the cell relate to history of the discovery of cells, in addition to being a look at future medical advances and a journey through their understanding over time. The book was published last year with the goal of better understanding the body.
“Mukherjee begins by explaining How life evolved from single-celled organismsand then shows how every human disease or consequence of aging comes down to when something goes wrong in the body’s cells,” Gates explained, according to CNBC.
It’s not the end of the world de Hannah Ritchie
This publication scheduled for January aims to show how The world still has time to win the battle against climate change. Hannah Ritchie, author who has written this workis a data scientist at the University of Oxford.
The author “used to believe, like many environmental activists, that she was living through the most tragic period of humanity,” Gates explained. However, as she focused on the data gathered to write the book, she realized that there are currently numerous initiatives that try to find a solution to combat the problem.
Therefore, this book tries to tell a story from data to “contradict doomsday climate scenariosas well as other environmental issues, without overlooking the challenges,” Gates explained. “Ritchie offers tangible steps that people, businesses and governments can take to build that better world.”
The 25 Most Influential Business Books Ever Written That You Should Read
Invention and innovation de Vaclav Smil
One of the Bill Gates’ favorite authors is Professor Emeritus of Environmental Sciences at the University of Manitoba, Vaclav Smil, who is also the author of Invention and innovation. Gates has said that he has read all of his books, which are quite a few, in addition to expressing his great admiration for him: “Nobody is better than Smil to explain the past“.
In this latest work, Smil investigates whether we are really living in an era of unparalleled invention, to which Gates has said that “our current era is not as innovative as we think“, has collected Time in an article.
Although the businessman agrees that rapid advances in computing power have inflated people’s perceptions of overall technological growth, he believes that Simil has underestimated the achievements in artificial intelligence.
The playlist Bill Gates Christmas
This list of books has not been the only recommendations that Gate has made for this Christmas. The businessman has shared “for fun” a playlist with 54 Christmas songs to celebrate the holidays this 2023.
On the list there are mythical themes such as Last Christmas from Wham to more classic songs like Joy to the World by Dolly Parton. The one that is conspicuous by its absence is the mythical All I want for Christmas is you de Mariah Carey.
“Whether you listen to them in an ugly sweater, while wrapping gifts, or around the table with family and friends, I hope you these songs bring so much joy to your holidays like mine,” Gates concluded.
