Britain’s soon to be mixed-raced princess once had a blog like us mere commoners! Her once active blog was called “The Tig.” The American actress shared a lot about her life and her eating and drinking habits through the blog but also blessed us with a blog post about the “Badass” books she read in 2016. Here are 5 Books you should read according to the 2016 Meghan Markle:
The Motivation Manifesto by Brendon Burchard
“Annoyed by your self-doubt and distractions?” Markle wrote about the book. “The noise that keeps you from reaching your potential? Okay, so yeah. Me too. Even on my most Sasha Fierce days, there’s a mean little voice in there going, ‘Hmmm…I’m not sure if you can, or should, or if you’re good enough to.'” The book focuses on finding personal freedom and how to reclaim your life by changing the ways you spend time, money, emotion and more.

The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz
“My mom gave me a copy of this book when I was 13 years old,” Markle wrote, “and to this day, I constantly circle back to the Don Miguel Ruiz classic for the simplest ways to simplify your life.” The Author, Don Miguel Ruiz wrote this book to repurpose, “ancient Toltec wisdom,” to help readers take control and live their lives with a new freedom.

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
“I have long been obsessed with this book, and specifically with The Little Fox,” Markle wrote. “Even if I don’t revisit the entire existential text (masked as a children’s book), the chapter of The Little Fox unearths a truth in me that is always worth the check-in. And if my vouching for it doesn’t give it the badass quality you’re looking for, the film remake is due to be released soon with a star-studded cast. So there ya go, fancy pants.” Markle highly recommends the book as it is the most translated non-religious book in the world.

Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson
“A professor at Northwestern University had this book on our list of required reading for an Industrial Engineering class I took my junior year of college,” Markle wrote “It was a seemingly odd choice, but at the end of the day, the takeaway was a self-empowerment and motivational bent that I apply to decision making in my life to this very day. It’s an invaluable quick read.”

The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff
“Aspects of Taoism told through the characters of ‘Winnie the Pooh’ – I mean, does it get better?” Markle wrote. As Markle further described, the book is a quick read you can easily finish in just one day. And in that day you’ll learn valuable lessons on, “how to move in the world.: The book is an introduction to the Eastern system of Taoism for westerners.
