On The Diary Of A CEO, Brooks recommended Ellen J. Langer's book 'Mindfulness,' noting her historical status as the first woman tenured in Harvard University's psychology department. During his appearance on Conversations with Tyler, Brooks discussed William James's foundational text 'The Principles of Psychology,' specifically referencing how James divided the human psyche into the I-self and the me-self to explain consciousness. In the same conversation, Brooks mentioned reading Josef Pieper's mid-twentieth-century work 'Leisure, the Basis of Culture' as part of his intellectual exploration regarding future projects and the philosophical nature of rest.
