What Are Your Favorite Celebrities Reading?
Have you ever been curious about the reading habits of your favorite stars? From classic literature to the latest bestsellers, there’s always something new to discover. We’re diving into the book recommendations of some celebrities that might just keep you up at night.
Jeremiah Brown, known from Love Island USA, found a renewed passion for reading during the COVID-19 pandemic. He openly admits, “I was forced to face myself and I didn’t like what I saw. Reading played a key role in helping me change that.” He even started a book club and has become a noted figure on BookTok.
Brown believes that reading has transformed his approach to life, stating that it provided him with a “second chance at life.” Curious about what he’s been reading? Here are his six essential picks.
1. Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday
“This was one of the first books I delved into as I sought a fresh perspective. It opened my eyes to growth opportunities I had previously overlooked. It taught me not to sweat the small stuff and prioritized my interactions with others over my own ego.”
2. When Things Fall Apart: Spiritual Advice for Hard Times by Pema Chodron
“This book is a classic. After I experienced my first breakup, I picked it up, and it completely reshaped how I view my relationships. It resonated with me, revealing that challenges arise not against us but rather for our growth, turning even the worst experiences into lessons.”
3. The Mountain is You by Brianna Wiest
“This book hit home for me because it brought to light so many of my old habits I clung to for comfort. It made me realize the human body likes comfort but that it’s not necessarily aligned with achieving success. I learned to actively monitor where I stand in happiness and wealth to push beyond my comfort zone.”
4. The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom by Don Miguel Ruiz
“One of my lifelong favorites. The four agreements in this book have profoundly changed my thinking. They’ve helped dismantle numerous self-imposed limitations, regardless of whether I was aware of them at the time. I strive to incorporate these principles into my daily life.”
5. The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
“I read this a few months back for my book club, and it really moved me. It reminded me of my experiences protesting with a friend in Seattle back in 2020. It’s easy to get comfortable with a certain level of success, but this book opened my eyes to ongoing tragedies that affect so many.”
6. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson
“I picked this up right after a solo drive from Seattle to Los Angeles to chase my modeling dreams. I remember obsessing over every little detail during the transition, but this book helped filter through the noise and clarify my values and purpose.”
