Lessons

My Path to a Meaningful Life

De: Gisele Bündchen

Narrado por: Soneela Nankani, Gisele Bündchen

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.

Beyond impressed

I envy Gisele as a business woman. Through hard work and perseverance she built an empire from humble beginnings.

This book made me appreciate her as a mother, wife friend and woman all around. In a day where I fear many of our female celebrities leave much to be desired I am thrilled to have the voice of this self made phenomena opening up to the public with such vulnerability. Highly suggest this book.

Beautiful Book!

I was not expecting this book to be so touching and lovely! I am a yoga teacher and it was amazing to learn that Gisele is really a yogi! :) Her story is great and it was really a nice listen. I enjoyed every minute. As a HUGE Tom Brady fan, I can now say I am a HUGE Gisele fan!

Wonderful book

I love this book.
Gisele is a beautiful human outside and more inside.
I really recommend this book.
