If you think Arshad Nadeem’s monumental 92.97-metre throw at the Olympic Games was a proud moment for Pakistan in 2024, go through the Guinness World Records 2025, it would make you feel prouder. The book sums up the world’s records in the 256-page book, celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Guinness World Records. A new feature in the beginning looks back at the seven decades. A decade-wise breakdown shows how records and human achievements have evolved. Colourful pictures and fact boxes make the book engaging. The 2025 edition also celebrates the icons who have recently shaped our world. Records are spread over various sections, covering the Natural World, Humankind, Science & Technology, Arts & Entertainment, and Sports. The book is a good addition to your library, from pop culture to amazing animals and counting the top 100 most excellent gaming records. When was the Digital Watch introduced? When did the earliest reptile roam the Earth? Would you believe if a pair of twins is born in different decades? Or twins born with varying statuses of citizenship? There is a section where senior citizens excel, while there is a portion where kids rule. The inclusion of video gaming achievements is a brilliant recognition of how gaming has evolved from a niche hobby to a global cultural phenomenon. For Pakistan, having its records featured in such a special edition is even more meaningful. Muhammad Rashid’s incredible feat of smashing 43 green coconuts with his head in just one minute showcases extraordinary physical and mental endurance. Pakistan’s Daniel Ali teamed up with Ammar Alkhudair (Yemen) to have the most football neck-catch passes in 30 seconds to their name, while Noman Mehsud recorded his name in the book with the most kip-ups (32) in 30 seconds. Most family members born on the same day (Mangi family of Larkana) are mentioned in the book, while in the flashback section, there is mention of the late Alam Channa, considered the tallest man in the world. Such achievements, big or small, highlight Pakistanis’ resilience, talent, and passion. They inspire a sense of pride and drive to aim higher and continue breaking barriers. Moments like these redefine national pride and motivate younger generations. The 70th-anniversary edition strikes a remarkable balance between being a fascinating history lesson and a source of pure entertainment. So go and get your copy now.
