What’s a pop culture event without a Kardashian thrown into the mix? Not only will she be signing bookplates, but the crew from her family’s era-defining reality TV show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, will be there to record the event. The title of the book–out in November—will also be announced at that time. Kardashian’s previous book, coauthored with her sisters Kim and Kourtney, Kardashian Konfidential, was a New York Times bestseller. Kardashian, along with her sisters, owns several successful businesses. She took a few minutes to speak with Show Daily @ BookCon.

What is the new book about?

It’s about finding and building strength and resilience in all aspects of your life. I found a new kind of strength alone on a treadmill. As I started to build my physical strength, I also started to build my mental, emotional, and spiritual strength. I believe that no matter what your challenge or obstacle might be—whether it’s losing weight, a serious health crisis, the loss of a loved one, or simply a broken heart—the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. I don’t believe it’s one size fits all nor do I believe that my plan is the only plan, but with strength of heart, mind, body, and soul, all things are possible.

What inspired you to write the book?

I wanted to share what I’ve learned, and I also thought readers would be entertained by some of the funny things I’ve done to work on myself. And believe me, I am full of imperfections, and there were many zigzags on the road. My journey is by no means a straight line.

What do you hope readers will take away from this?

I hope first and foremost that readers enjoy the book and are entertained. I hope they are inspired to build their own form of personal strength, which I know will improve their bodies, their minds, their spirit, and their lives. One baby step at a time! That is my philosophy. Small changes and small steps lead to big changes and a new you.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians reality crew will be there at your signing. Do you ever get tired of having them around or does it seem normal now?

I love the crew. They are extended family members. I have also learned how to enjoy being alone. I enjoy the commotion, but I also cherish my moments of solitude.

What’s it like having so much of your life and your family’s life documented—the bad and the good and the deeply private?

There are times when living under a microscope can be challenging, but the upside is immense. I have met thousands of inspiring and amazing people along the way, and the connection I feel with people is a great joy in my life. I also think showing people that no matter what fame, beauty, wealth, or privilege anyone might seem to have, the real privilege in life is having a close, loving family. No matter what, I value the love and bond we have above all. That’s what really matters in the end.

Kardashian will be signing bookplates for fans today, 11 a.m.–noon, at the Regan Arts booth (2644), as well as being available for a photo-op with fans.
