Dorit Kemsley often revisits her cherished books at various stages in her life.
The star of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” whose preferred titles include Paulo Coelho’s “The Alchemist” and Eckhart Tolle’s “The Power of Now,” seeks new insights each time she reads these beloved works.
The reality star’s latest publication, “Unburdened,” now available, delves into her personal life, including her separation from Paul “PK” Kemsley and the harrowing home invasion she experienced in 2021.
“I hope readers take away from ‘Unburdened’ that tough times don’t define you indefinitely,” she shared with Page Six. “Often, the most challenging experiences help reveal your true self and what you can really overcome.”
Below are six books Kemsley highly recommends.
“Tom Ford” by Tom Ford
“This book isn’t just a visual treat; it’s the deliberate purpose behind Tom Ford’s creations that really resonates with me. His precision, discipline, ambition, and clear vision shine through every page. He presents glamour as something intelligent, elegant, and powerful, rather than merely extravagant. I deeply admire that.
“Beneath the aesthetic beauty and luxury, there’s an enormous amount of hard work, creative conviction, and meticulous attention to detail. This book transcends fashion—it’s about identity, reinvention, trusting your instincts, and committing boldly to your creative vision. Every decision is intentional and unmistakably his, which I find incredibly inspiring, regardless of your field.”
“The Four Agreements” by Don Miguel Ruiz
“This book stands out as one of the most practical and transformative I’ve ever read. The teachings are simple yet profound—if genuinely applied, they can alter how you communicate, manage emotions, and navigate relationships. ‘Don’t take anything personally’ is a principle I often reflect on, as it’s much easier said than done, especially in today’s climate.
“What I value most about this book is its promotion of self-awareness without being burdensome or overly complex. It’s essentially about safeguarding your peace, communicating more truthfully, and avoiding self-inflicted suffering through assumptions, fear, or negativity. It becomes particularly meaningful in tough times, reminding you to remain grounded, clear-headed, and emotionally stable amidst chaos. The insights it offers are timeless and incredibly beneficial across all aspects of life.”
“The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho
“There’s a reason this book is celebrated worldwide. It’s straightforward, beautifully crafted, and brimming with wisdom about following your intuition, finding your purpose, and having the courage to trust your path, even when it seems unclear. Each reading brings new insights, influenced by my life’s current phase.
“It’s a gentle reminder of how easy it is to disconnect from your true desires and instincts due to fear, external opinions, or daily pressures. At its heart, it’s about bravely pursuing what matters to you, despite the uncertainties ahead. It’s a rare gem that feels deeply personal yet universally applicable.”
“The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle
“I often return to this book at different points in my life, as its message consistently resonates with my current experiences. It serves as a powerful prompt to slow down, quiet your mind, and not dwell solely on past regrets or future anxieties. What I appreciate most is its realistic approach to life’s challenges, offering a more serene and mindful way to handle tough situations.
“Many of us get caught up replaying past events, fretting about the future, or carrying unnoticed anxiety. This book has taught me the importance of remaining present and connected to myself, rather than getting overwhelmed by external events. In a world that often feels chaotic and reactionary, I believe this book can provide a sense of peace, clarity, and perspective.”
“The Beautiful Fall” by Alicia Drake
“I absolutely adored this book because it delves into much more than just fashion. It encapsulates creativity, ambition, reinvention, rivalry, artistry, and a world that was both glamorous and tumultuous. Alicia Drake’s portrayal of Paris in the 1970s through the lives of Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld is captivating. You can feel the allure, the excess, the pressure, the genius, and the solitude that these iconic figures experienced.
“What intrigued me most was the exploration of identity and the costs of continuously evolving oneself in the public eye. Beneath all the glamour, there’s a lot of emotion, insecurity, obsession, and vulnerability, making it surprisingly human and relatable. It’s a beautifully written book that completely transports you to another time and place, and it’s incredibly engaging.”
“Unburdened” by Dorit Kemsley
“Writing this book was one of the most emotional and transformative journeys of my life. It started as a mere recounting of my experiences but evolved into a profound reflection on the events that shaped, challenged, broke, and helped me grow. I aimed to extend beyond what people might already know from public perceptions or headlines, touching on the private emotions behind those moments, the fears, resilience, motherhood, heartbreak, and recovery.
“What surprised me during the writing process was how challenging it can be to revisit certain life events with complete honesty. Some moments were incredibly tough to articulate, but others unexpectedly brought healing and liberation. Above all, I wanted this book to resonate on a human level, as despite our different external lives, many of us face similar challenges of uncertainty, loss, reinvention, and finding inner strength.”
