Summary

The instant New York Times best seller

Supermodel and philanthropist Gisele Bündchen shares personal stories, insights, and photos to explore lessons that have helped shape her life.

Gisele Bündchen's journey began in southern Brazil, growing up with five sisters, playing volleyball, and rescuing the dogs and cats around her hometown. In fact, she wanted to become either a professional volley player or a veterinarian. But at the age of 14, fate suddenly intervened in the form of a modeling scout, who spotted her in São Paulo. Four years later, Gisele's appearance in Alexander McQueen's memorably rain-soaked London runway show in the spring 1998 launched her spectacular career as a fashion model, and put an end to the "heroin chic" era of fashion. Since then, Gisele has appeared in almost 400 ad campaigns and on over 1200 magazine covers. She has walked in more than 470 fashion shows for the most influential brands in the world. Gisele has become an icon, leaving a lasting mark on the fashion industry.

But until now, few people have gotten to know the real Gisele, a woman whose private life stands in dramatic contrast to her public image. In Lessons, she reveals for the first time who she really is and what she's learned over the past 37 years to help her live a meaningful life - a journey that takes listeners from a childhood spent barefoot in small-town Brazil, to an internationally successful career, motherhood and marriage to quarterback Tom Brady.

A work of great openness and vulnerability, Lessons reveals the inner life of a very public woman.

Loved it!

Definitely better than expected! I will be brutally honest, I was expecting an airhead model story and was kind of forced into buying it by a friend but ended up absolutely loving it!
She talks a lot of about her childhood, her journey from how she started out, where she is now and all the good and bad in between.

Love it

Love everything about this book! The ways she talks about her life and the struggles that she overcome and also how down to earth her approach to life is. Also appreciate that she credits every school of thought and practices and that she doesn’t talk about it as hers but as means for her to balance her life. Very relatable and would recommend it to everyone especially teenage girls!!
