The Best Books The Kardashians Have Recommended

When you think of celebrity book clubs, you probably think of Reese's Book Club or Jenna Bush Hager's Read with Jenna from "Today" before you think of the Kardashians. But, back in early 2017, Kim Kardashian nearly had her own book club with Chrissy Teigen."[It] never took off because we were lazy," she admitted on her app in 2018, per People. But don't let that fool you into thinking the famous family isn't still reading. Kim and her sisters, Khloe and Kourtney, are quite avid readers, with Kim even telling Vogue France in 2023, "I like to read. I always have books [in my bag]."

The reality stars have recommended quite a few books over the years. And their recs confirm that they're all non-fiction fanatics. They've suggested we curl up with everything from self-help, to spiritual devotion journals, to relationship-based memoirs, and, well, almost everything in between.

One of Kim Kardashian's favorite books is Betty J. Eadie's "Embraced By The Light." In January 2017, the reality star wrote on X that Eadie was her "favorite author" and shared that she was lucky enough to have met her. "[It's] about her near-death experience & it's helped me live my life in such a full way," she wrote. The following month, Kim confirmed it was her then-book club's first assignment. She later shared on her now-defunct app that she felt a special connection to the book because her late dad, Robert Kardashian, encouraged her to read it. "He said that it's a fascinating story about a woman who dies during surgery, goes to heaven and remembers her whole experience and came back to life to share all of her experiences," Kim explained (via AOL). "It just gives me tools on how to live a better life here and live life to its potential and just be more spiritual and one with God," she continued, sharing that she re-read the book as a parent and gained a different perspective on it.

Eadie's book (which has a 3.96 rating on Goodreads at the time of writing) is perfect for those with a spiritual side or anyone interested in unexplained phenomena. Even if you're not though, reading a book like this can be a great way to open your mind.

Khloe Kardashian has taught us some tough lessons about love, so it's not too surprising she put a book focused on the subject on her 2017 beach reads list. "How to Fall in Love with Anyone" by Mandy Len Catron is a memoir told through a collection of essays inspired by the divorce of the author's parents. "In many ways, it felt like I didn't have a good understanding of love, how it works and how it's supposed to work," Catron explained to NBC News. "I felt like their divorce was the wrong ending to their love story, and I started thinking about all the ways that stories influence our thinking about love and relationships."

With Khloe being so unlucky in love, we can totally see why she picked up this title. In fact, on her website, she wrote of the non-fiction book (via People), "[It's] an insightful and humorous memoir that tackles the romantic myths we create and how this affects our relationships." It's clearly helped a lot more people than just Khloe, too. At the time of writing, the book is sitting pretty with 3.7 stars out of five on Goodreads.

Another spiritual book recommended by a Kardashian is the devotional journal "Jesus Calling" from Sarah Young. This one is a favorite of Kourtney Kardashian, as she revealed on her lifestyle blog Poosh that she reads a passage from it daily. And hse has it constantly open in her home. "It's a devotional filled with inspiring scriptures for every day of the year. These short and sweet passages are an easy way to stay spiritually connected," "The Kardashians" star wrote. But don't think you have to be deeply religious to enjoy this non-fiction book. "Religion and spiritual status aside, it really fills up my soul to take a moment to reflect and set a positive tone for the day ahead," Kourtney explained.

The book has a gained a lot of praise on Goodreads, where, at the time of writing, it has a rating of 4.54 out of five. Plenty of other users have sung its praises in their reviews, too. "If you have never read this incredible devotional, I highly recommend the journaling format," one person wrote. "In many ways, I feel it helped me to 'keep the faith' once again in a year of tremendous uncertainty, grief, and spiritual challenge."

If there's one celebrity to turn to for a self-help book recommendation, it's Khloe Kardashian. "My name is Khloé, and I'm a self-help book addict. Seriously!" she even wrote in a 2015 blog post on her since-deleted website (via Us Weekly). That year, the "Kocktails with Khloe" host shared several of her favorite self-help books with the world, praising Steve Harvey's 2014 non-fiction, "Act Like a Success, Think Like a Success: Discovering Your Gift and the Way to Life's Riches." In it, the "Family Feud" host discusses how to chase our dreams and how we all have a gift that will help guide us through life. Clearly, that resonated with Khloe. "Steve Harvey is the man! His book about embracing your God-given gifts is seriously so good," she wrote on her blog.

But Khloe isn't the only one who's benefited from Harvey's wisdom. The book has a rating of 4.1 out of five on Goodreads, where plenty of people have shared how it's improved their life. "It is an excellent book for his 'audience' written in a language that everyone can understand," one reviewer shared. Clearly, a must-read for anyone who enjoys self-help books or wants to feel inspired to reach their goals.

For those unfamiliar with Laura Lynne Jackson and her work, she's a self-described psychic medium. In her bestselling book "Signs: The Secret Language of the Universe," she aims to help ordinary people recognize messages from those who have passed away in the everyday world. The book is a favorite of all three Kardashian sisters, as confirmed by Kim during an interview with Vogue France in 2023. "All my sisters and I have read it or are reading it and we like to pretty much do a sister book club and talk about it," Kim Kardashian confirmed that to Vogue France in 2023.

On Goodreads, plenty more people have shared how the book helped them. "The book is all about opening your mind and heart to the infinite signs in the universe that are sent to us by our 'Team of Light,' or those who are deceased that look after us, our guardian angels if you will," one person wrote. And they're not alone in feeling inspired. The book is super popular, with a 4.17 rating out of five on the site, at the time of writing. For those looking for a connection with late loved ones, this could be the read for you.
