The instant New York Times bestseller 

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. Art & Literature Fashion Designers Personal Development Personal Success Celebrity Sports Latin America

Fantastic book that was so enlightening and inspiring. I never really knew anything about her and never followed her at all. Her story and "lessons" she talked about pleasantly surprised me! She really is an amazing woman/wife/mother from what I took from her book and seemed so grounded. I was actually disappointed when the book ended. I could have listened to so much more!

I was actually surprised how much I could relate to a multimillionaire supermodel, lol. The struggles and insecurities Giselle shares even when it seems like she has it all, is really a human story, a womans story. It was a fantastic listen that left me with a tremendous amount of inspiration.

Giselle has a beautiful soul.

I to, modelled for 8 years abroad instead of going to university and I felt the lessons learned were so valuable. Giselle, eloquently explains how we can learn so much from our experiences, relationships, family and nature. I really enjoyed her perspective on life and found this book so relatable and comforting. I am about to start my family now and this book made me more excited to become a new version of myself once again. We are always growing and changing and this book helped me reflect on ny own past and ignited a need to be more of a servant to others and the world by letting go of our ego.

I wasn’t expecting this at all. And I really really loved the book.

Thank you for sharing Giselle! X

If you ever believed models were shallow, prepare to go deep with Giselle
