Publisher's 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.

Inspiration on the catwalk!

I already had great admiration for Gisele, after Lessons I was fascinated by her simplicity and determination towards life. I am Brazilian and I am proud of this Brazilian warrior. Lessons is a book to inspire us.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Agree with another review

I think this audio book lost something by not being read by the author - would have enjoyed it much more.

Positive and Uplifting, Inspiring!

Great book. Very positive and uplifting. Just what a troubled Xennial needed. Panic and anxiety attacks are real and no one is exempted. Never knew Gisele to be this deep and spiritual as a person. Great book! ❤ you Gisele!

This is a wonderful book.

I loved this book, I listened to it on my daily runs. I would love to meet Gisele, she would make a great friend. Thanks for sharing your story. I’m from New England and have always been a big fan of Tom and the Patriots as well.

Good book to think about you life and inner though

i loved because Gisele shows us to not take anything from granted, even if you are the top 1 at your business area. actually, she shows us how she worked hard to reach this position. amazing to hear that everyone has pain points and how hard life is for all.

Cheers, Gisele!

Gisele and I have much in common, and her story helps me with mine. I salute her and admire the life she is living, so well. I love you, fellow warrior! Your book, Lessons, blesses my soul. Know that, Sunshine. Namaste. :)

Related a lot to this book, really wish it was narrated by the author

This book is honest and and reflects on life lessons in a beautiful way. The narration however was jarring and I wished at many points in the book that Giselle herself had narrated it- would have elevated the experience.

Excellent Book

Gisele might be 38 but she shares so much wisdom that I am inspired to live a better life and be a better person even though I am many years older than she is! Thank you Gisele for writing and sharing your life lessons.
