She recommended Mark Sisson's Two Meals a Day when discussing intermittent fasting and healthy eating habits during an interview with Megyn Kelly. Additionally, she brought up Michel Foucault's Discipline and Punish to explore the historical evolution of societal control, Hannah Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem to reflect on the banality of evil, and Fyodor Dostoevsky's Notes from Underground for its dark humor and philosophical depth.
