How To Read Like Bella Hadid!

Written by Ariel Byrns. Published: January 29 2023

 

Bella Hadid is a role model to many of us. She is kind, beautiful, successful, and, of course, has a killer fashion sense. While her outfits inspire many of us to follow in her steps when it comes to putting together looks, we can gain even more inspiration from her in other aspects of life, such as her hobbies. Though she has an incredibly busy modeling schedule, Bella is also an avid reader. She can often be seen with a book in hand as she goes about her day, and even posts some of her current reads on her instagram. So, if you want to get a feel for what this supermodel does off-duty, read these books! 

 

1. The Outsider by Stephen King

The Outsider takes place in a fictional city in Oklahoma where the recent murder of an 11-year-old boy shakes the local community. As the murder is investigated, fingers point to various people around town. It is the Boys Little League coach that ultimately gets arrested for the crime, but is he the right suspect? As the team of investigators work on the case, they begin to encounter a strange, dark presence around town. In the end, they must confront themselves and decide if a supernatural being which takes a human form and feeds on blood could really exist, or if the discrepancies in their gathered evidence are part of an elaborate set-up by the suspect. It seems like Bella enjoys spooky books and edge-of-your-seat mysteries as much as we do!

 

 

2. How To Love by Thich Nhat Hanh

How To Love is a spiritual instructional manual that teaches readers how to be mindful and present with themselves and loved ones. Written by a Vietnamese monk, the book's aim is to teach beginners in mindfulness how to practice the essential steps and incorporate them into their daily lives. Meditation is a focus of the work, especially in regards to how it can bring one closer to loved ones and help one become a more understanding and caring individual. It is no wonder Bella enjoys this book, as it gives tips on how to balance work, family, and friendship, and focuses on self-love and knowing one's limits. For someone with such a hectic life, this book is a great reminder that it is okay to slow down sometimes!

 

3. The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron

The Artist’s Way is a best-selling self-help book which focuses on cultivating confidence in people within the art profession. The book provides techniques and exercises that creative people can partake in to build self-assurance. The idea is that, by doing these activities, the reader will become more secure in their self-perception of their work and will also gain new creative skills that will help them in their future work opportunities. As a model, there is no doubt that Bella found value in this work. Modeling is an art form that takes a lot of creativity and confidence. It is clear that she chose this book with the intention of improving upon her current understanding of the art world and what it means to be in the field of creative work. It shows that Bella is very dedicated to modeling and takes her work seriously!
