Is Fonendi Launching a New Book in 2026? An Update

Hey there. If you’re reading this, you’ve probably enjoyed Thinking Long Term in Business and are wondering, “What’s next?” Or maybe you’ve just heard the name Fonendi and are curious about what this platform is planning. It’s a fantastic question, and we appreciate you asking.

Let’s talk about it directly. We’ll look at what goes into creating a new book, what we’re focusing on right now, and what you can realistically expect from Fonendi in the near future.

The Short Answer (And Why It’s Not Simple)

First, the quick update: As of now, we do not have a new book scheduled for a 2026 release. There is no title, no final manuscript, and no pre-order page.

But here’s the important part: that doesn’t mean a new book will never happen. The decision isn’t made with a calendar; it’s made based on a simple principle we talk about in our work: Is this the most valuable thing we can do for our readers right now?

Creating a book isn’t like turning on a faucet. For a project that aligns with the Fonendi philosophy, it requires a significant investment of time, research, and thoughtful development to ensure it provides unique, lasting value—not just another book on the shelf.

What Is Happening at Fonendi in 2024-2025?

Instead of racing toward a new book deadline, our energy is focused on deepening the conversation started by the first one. Think of the book as planting a tree. Right now, we’re in the season of watering it and helping it grow strong roots.

Our current work includes:

Expanding the Core Ideas: We’re creating detailed guides, articles, and case studies that explore the principles from Thinking Long Term in Business in more depth. How do you actually build those “unshakeable foundations”? What does “patient leadership” look like in a real-world crisis?
Listening to Our Readers: Your feedback and questions are our most valuable resource. The themes and challenges you share directly shape what we write about next, whether that’s a blog series or, eventually, a new book.
Building a Thoughtful Platform: Our goal is to make Fonendi a reliable space for long-term thinking. That means focusing on quality, clarity, and helpfulness in everything we publish, ensuring it meets the standards of helpful content for readers.

Pushing out a second book too quickly would mean taking focus and resources away from this essential work.

How We Decide What to Create Next

You might be wondering about our process. How does an idea become a Fonendi project? It’s not a mystery; it’s guided by a few key filters we use for all our decisions:

The Value Test: Does the topic fill a genuine gap? Does it offer a perspective or practical tool that isn’t already widely available? We ask if it helps solve a real, enduring problem for people building businesses and careers.
The Depth Requirement: Is the idea substantial enough to warrant a full book? Some concepts are perfect for a long-form article or a series. A book needs to be a comprehensive exploration of a central, powerful theme.
The Readiness Check: Do we have the necessary insights, research, and clarity to do the topic justice? Rushing leads to thin content, and that’s the opposite of our mission.

If and when an idea passes all these checks convincingly, then we would consider the significant project of developing a new book.

Looking Ahead: Realistic Possibilities for 2026 and Beyond

While a full book launch in 2026 is unlikely given our current focus, that timeframe could see important foundational work for future projects.

A more probable scenario for the next 18-24 months is the development of substantial new long-form content that tests and expands on reader interest in specific areas. This could be a major series of essays or a detailed white paper on a focused topic like sustainable scaling or decision-making frameworks.

This approach allows us to stay engaged with our community, deliver value continuously, and let the next big project emerge organically, rather than forcing it. It’s the difference between a factory production schedule and a gardener tending a plot—we’re very much the gardeners.

Your Role in Shaping What’s Next

This might be the most important part of this update: the future of Fonendi is a conversation, not a monologue.

The direction we take is deeply influenced by the people who read, apply, and discuss these ideas. Your input is invaluable.

What challenges are you facing that the first book didn’t fully address?
Which concepts resonated most, and what would you like to explore further?

This feedback doesn’t just go into a void. It helps us identify the themes that are most pressing and valuable for our community. When a clear, common thread emerges from this dialogue, that’s the strongest signal for what we should explore next in depth.

Conclusion: Patience as a Strategy

So, to wrap up: No, there isn’t a new Fonendi book on the 2026 calendar. And that’s by deliberate choice.

We’re choosing to focus on strengthening our core ideas and growing our community thoughtfully, rather than chasing an arbitrary publication date. When the right idea meets the right depth and the right time, we’ll be excited to share it with you.

For now, the best way to see what’s next is to stay engaged with the content we’re publishing and join the conversation. The next big project will grow from the soil we’re carefully tending today.
