The former “Today” show host is hoping her new book, “Jump and Find Joy,” which hit shelves Sept. 23, will inspire and help people, just like her favorite reads have done for her.
“I try to write books that I’d want to read — informative, interesting, and so inspirational that you can’t wait to share them with the people you love,” Kotb tells Page Six, “My latest work, ‘Jump and Find Joy,’ is one of those books.”
See below for Kotb’s six must-read books.
“If you want to stop bickering with your inner voice, this book can guide you. Each page leads you toward a more peaceful mind.”
“I love the beach, so reading about seashells and salt water is my jam. This book was written in the 1950s, but its message about rest and reflection is timeless. I’m into both.”
“My dear friend has set two novels in Old Florida. This one shares the journey of a shy woman who wonders if she can reinvent her life by moving next door to Thomas Edison’s winter estate.”
“I’m drawn to this series of books, each one contemplating what God would say in various settings and situations. I keep one in my bag, and when I have a few minutes in between things, I soak up the wisdom.”
“Sometimes a juicy mystery is what I need as a mental teaser. Who dunnit?! This one lurked in my stack of bedside books until its suspenseful finish.”
“This is a beautiful window into my dear friend’s life and soul. Through prose and poetry, Maria shares her journey to define herself outside of family and romantic relationships. Her work is partially raw and fully relatable.”
Let’s be honest—no matter how stressful the day gets, a good viral video can instantly lift your mood. Whether it’s a funny pet doing something silly, a heartwarming moment between strangers, or a wild dance challenge, viral videos are what keep the internet fun and alive.
