Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life | Gisele Bündchen
4 posts | 4 read | 5 to read
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 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 readers 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.

I don‘t know what I expected from this book, it‘s part memoir and part lifestyle guide to a very simple life. This was a good lighthearted book.

Not a masterpiece, but inspiring in some ways, well written. I would recomend mostly for people with interest in healthy ways of life and fashionists.

I was bored reading this book. Nothing that grabbed me, just life lessons that we all should know.

I received this book as a gift and was skeptical to say the least. What could a successful model have to tell me about living my life??? Well I was proven wrong!! I have a new respect for her and even walked away with a few tips to use in my own life!! Well worth the read.
